Factory Records: Anjengo

Diaries and Consultations, 1775-1797 Miscellaneous papers, 1704-1769

Anjengo was probably first visited by the Company in the 1680s but a factory was not established there until 1697. Situated on the Travancore coast, the town became a trading centre for pepper and high quality calicoes. Over the eighteenth century, however, trade began to decline and during the Carnatic wars the factory was used as a depot for military stores. The factory was abolished in 1813. Between 1727 and 1775, copies of the factory's records were sent to Bombay from where copies were sent to London. From 1775, copies of diaries and consultations were sent to London directly.
