Hi List, Can anyone suggest some good websites where I can find information (& hopefully photos) on the Indian Rubber Works in Birmingham around the 1900 - 1920 mark?. I have a family member listed as the "Director of India Rubber Works" and would love a photo of him. He is Edwin Louis Curbishley born 1865 in Birmingham (married to Louisa Milton Ollis b1868/9) and he is the brother of my 3x gt grandfather Joseph Curbishley born 1868. I can't visit any library's in person as I live in New Zealand. Any help is appreciated. Regards Keely

Hi Keely suggest you try this link first http://www.midlandshistoricaldata.org/index.html there are several links to the Leyland and Birmingham Rubber Company, not sure if they are the same one but they seem pretty knowledgeable, try (but bear in mind these photos are of Leyland rather than Birmingham) http://www.lakelandelements.com/rainwearhistory/ leylandandbirminghamrubberco.htm Dave Carr Paignton Devon On 3 Aug 2009, at 11:32, Craig and Keely Chitty wrote: Hi List, Can anyone suggest some good websites where I can find information (& hopefully photos) on the Indian Rubber Works in Birmingham around the 1900 - 1920 mark?.
