Porthouse (c.1794-
1860) gained a considerable reputation as a watch and chronometer maker
in London. His origins are unknown, but it is possible he was related to
the 18th century family of clockmakers by that name from Penrith in
Cumberland (now Cumbria) in the North of England. The known facts about
Thomas Porthouse suggest that sometime around the year 1815 he started
his own business on High Street, Poplar, in London’s East End, near the
city’s main docklands.The first city directory to include information about
Porthouse as a tradesman, published in 1822 by the Manchester firm Pigot
and Co, lists his premises at 210 High Street. One year after the Royal
Observatory announced its Premium Trials, Porthouse entered this
chronometer, No.233 (see later for the details of the trial). No doubt
recognizing the prestige to be gained by selling chronometers to the
Royal Navy, Porthouse submitted a number of further chronometers
for the Greenwich trials in the following years. Pocket chronometer
No.6279 was entered in 1824 and purchased for the Admiralty in June
1825, and No.6281, also a pocket chronometer, was entered in 1825 and
, after remaining on trial for three years, was finally purchased in October
1829. This chronometer, typical of these fine instruments, was still read the
rest at the google site at the front of this short history of Thomas Porthouse.
