In 1909, Silver Street was renamed, and although remaining in the same premises, the new address became 140 Church Street. Albert Rowley and his wife Emma founded the business in the first year of their marriage, when it specialised in picture framing, mounting, restoration, carving, gilding and exhibitions of paintings. Before very long The Rowley Gallery was also producing inlaid wood panels and furniture and by 1912 had expanded to include 142 Church Street.

The Rowley Gallery, now not in the ownership of the Rowley family, is still trading at 115 Kensington Church Street.
