The date of foundation is the date Edward George Wood first left the partnership of Horne, Thornthwaite & Wood (he later returned).
The business continued to trade as E.G. Wood long after the death of Wood himself. The optical side of the business appears to have declined in importance in about 1933, after the death of Fred Horsey, with the remaining business being in photography and radio supply. The business finally closed on Christmas Eve 1939.
