History of John Perryman, E.M. Perryman, Perryman and Co
1855-1950+ / Adelaide, Australia
The name of Berryman has been associated with the retailing of jewellery in Adelaide since 1855. The film was founded by John Perrryman, watch and clock maker to the colonial government. Located in King William Street from 1855 to 1935.
After the death of John Perryman in 1872, his widow Mrs E.M. Perryman managed the firm. In 1882 she advertised in Sands and Mcdougall’s ‘South Australia Directory’ as “watch and clock maker, jeweller and silversmith”.
Perryman and Co. continued to trade in King William Street Adelaide until 1935, and eventually in Victoria Square until the 1950’s.
