Rothschild, N. M., and Sons
Nathan Mayer Rothschild came to England in 1798 and traded textiles at Manchester before moving to London, where the bank was founded in 1811 at New Court. It became the longest-lived of the five houses and the only one never closed, expropriated, or nationalized. From 1835 it held the exclusive distribution of Spanish quicksilver from Almadén, with interruptions, until 1921. The name was retired as a trading brand in 2011, when the London and French banking operations were unified under the name Rothschild & Co.
