    ... In 1787 John Clarke’s daughter Mary, who had married [John Berry] a wine merchant from Exeter, gave birth to the first George Berry, who was to take over his grandfather’s business. ...

    ... George Berry, John Clarke's grandson, was only 16 when he made the two-day journey from Exeter in 1803. By 1810, his name was stretched above the facade of No. 3 St James's Street. For 200 years since then, the Berry name has been inseparable from the business.

Wine would have always been sold at No. 3, but George’s family background, coupled with the changing tastes of the time, explain a shift towards wines and spirits. Two of George Berry’s sons, George Jr. and Henry, took over in 1845. Today, the shop still bears the name of these original ‘Berry Brothers’. ...
