Early-doors brainchild of Aussie impresario Sir Oswald Stoll, making firstly silent shorts like The Amateur Gentleman and The Solitary Cyclist, and latterly just about every Sherlock Holmes story going, with Eille Norwood in the part. Never survived the coming of sound, though their Cricklewood studios were taken over by Butcher’s to make – yes – the Old Mother Riley films. Small industry, wasn’t it?
