The Birth of Tradition

1801

The Birth of Tradition

In 1801, KEEN's Mustard founder, Thomas Keen, is born in Camberwell, England. In 1825, Thomas marries Harriett Toulmin. In 1831, they move into The Elms, the Toulmin family home on High Street, Croydon flanked by two breweries: Nalder & Collyer and Crowleys. The home features a one-acre garden, including a heated glasshouse and a large rose garden - all tended to by head gardener, Mr Mason and his three assistants.
