On his return to England John Pinney used this office to run his business. He set himself up as a sugar Factor with James Tobin a Friend from Nevis, handling the sugar and supplies for other planters. They also lent money and took over the estates and enslaved people, if the loans were not paid. At his death his fortune was about £340,000 (the equivalent of around £17 million today). With thanks to 'The Georgian House Museum', 7 Great George Street, Bristol, BS1 5RR.
