A seemingly short-lived partnership that operated in Wareham (presumably as proprietors of Wareham Oil Works) during 1854. John Bell Muschamp had diverse business interests and was partner in Bainbridge's of Newcastle, one of Britain's first department stores. It is possible that operations at Wareham were associated with Muschamp's interests in the India rubber industry and the manufacture of waterproof fabrics.
