In early 1887, Miss Sarah Farran and Miss Ethel Dickens open up one of the first commercial typing offices in London. They specialize in plays and prompt-books, according to the published snippet announcements of their new business. Their partnership appears to last only about 10 months before Ethel opens her own office in Wellington Street. Miss Farran, and her nieces Ethel Blanche Farran and Ida Farran, appear to continue to operate this business at least into the 1890s.
