Benjamin and Charles Griffith were whip makers at this address from the late 18th Century. Various directories and court records record them at this address from the 1780's and James Swaine, later of Swaine & Adeney was apprenticed to Benjamin Griffith at this address in 1782. 

The British Museum has a drawing by John Wykeham Archer showing leather & sticks in a building damaged by fire captioned 'Griffith Whip Maker, HOLBORN' Inscribed on mount: "Remains of the Chapel, Southampton House, Holborn, 1846". This is the last reference I can find to whip manufacture at this address.

Between the cap and collar, the grip is covered in braided black / brown baleen.
The flexible stock is covered in braided linen or hemp
