Victor Spencer Bowater Liveryman
1891 – 1967
and Other Members of the Bowater Family

Victor came from a very privileged and entrepreneurial family and although he played no part in working in the family business saw his family's wealth spiral ever upwards throughout his 76 years. He was content to live life as a gentleman and by all accounts enjoy life to the full. It was remarkable that the City of London appointed four members of his family to be Lord Mayors' of London, a feat that has not been matched in recent times. The Glovers' Company were indeed fortunate to have Victor as a Liveryman whilst his eminent relatives reached the highest positions running the City of London.

In researching this article I was unable to find a picture of Victor but was able to find photographs of his family.
