In context

We hold 109 other business companies founded in the 1880s. 25 of them have closed, after a median of 81 years, and 84 have no closure recorded.

Counted across this directory, from founding and closing years in public records. Medians cover only companies whose closure is recorded; a company with no closure date may have quietly ceased without the record catching it.
