Below is a bit of history of the Hillier company:
James Hillier of London was an American organ and harmonium manufacturer. The firm was founded in London by James (b.1832) and his wife Eliza S. Hillier (b.1847) who lived in St. Pancras. It was continued by their sons James (b.1865) and John (b.1867) and daughter Eliza (b.1871).
The firm traded as James Hillier (1855-1877) at 13 Oxford Terrace, King's Road, St. Pancras, James Hillier and Co. (1878-1905) at 12-15 Kings Road, Camden Town, London and 228 York Road, N. London and then as Hillier Piano and Organ Co. c.1903. Several members of James' family worked for the firm, including his wife Eliza S., daughter Eliza and two sons. Their home was at 13 King's Road, off St. Pancras Road, London around 1871 and 288 York Road, Islington in c.1855 and number 290 in c.1891 as recorded in the census of those years.

James Hillier was born in Camden Town and served his apprenticeship with the well known pianoforte maker Charles Cadby of Liquorpond Street, EC London who also made harmoniums, see Chapter . James started making pianos at King's Road, St. Pancras and the firm later expanded to become the London Piano and Organ Co. He built harmoniums from 1861 and American organs later. The business had expanded sufficiently by 1879 for him to be able to buy a large plot of land in the old York Road cattle market and build a five storey steam factory there. The following picture from Fritz Gellerman's database shows their smaller factory which is probably earlier in date.
