Note for: Christian Augustus Henry Allhusen, ABT 1806 - 1890 Index

Individual Note:
1881 census: Living in Stoke Poges, gives birthdate as about 1807.
A Christian Allhusen owned Allhusen Chemical Company in Gateshead around 1840....any connection.
The best known chemical works are remembered as 'Allhusens', developed in the 1830s by Charles Attwood and bought in 1840 by Christian Allhusen who successfully expanded his business until he occupied 197 acres of the South Shore. 'Allhusens' was incorporated as the Newcastle Chemical Works Company in 1872 and this in turn was taken over by United Alkali in 1891 and production concentrated on caustic soda. In 1889, 1200 men were employed here but from this date there was a gradual run down, which accelerated after the First World War, as the chemical trade was transferred to Teesside. By 1926 the premises were re-let as factories and even poultry houses and in the 1930s the great chimneys were demolished. One reminder of the past was the spoil heap estimated at 2 million tons which was still smouldering in 1951 Fortunately, a use was found for the lime as agricultural fertiliser, and the removal of 750,000 tons continued from 1953 until the 1960s. The remaining spoil has been incorporated into East Gateshead Riverside Park

the South Shore Works, which had just been sold (in 1840) by its founder, Anthony Attwood, to Christian Allhusen (known to generations of Gateshead people as “Ally Hoosen”), who was also to make soda, though with a greater range of products, especially when he took over the neighbouring whale oil plant of Doubleday and Easterby.

About Stoke Court: 500 acre estate in Buckinghamshire
1872-1927 The property passed to the Allhusen Family ~ Christian Allhusen was a Danish chemical manufacturer Augustus Henry Eden inherited his grandfathers estate in 1890 and became a Member of Parliament from 1897-1906. His wife Dorothy and Clementine Churchill were cousins so that there were many glittering social events at the house.
