THE HISTORY OF RUGBY CEMENT

Rugby Cement TM 1876



Rugby Cement Logo 1882





The history of the Rugby Cement Company is currently being researched by John Frearson ahead of a publication of a History of the Company.

The majority of the existing Company archives have been "rescued" and are being catalogued.  The main information on the history of the Rugby Cement Company and its predessessor companies is being abstracted prior to the Archives being passed to the Warwickshire County Record Office for secure storage.

To date, two large consignments of records have been transferred for safe keeping.

Where possible, all names and associated details are being abstracted so as to be available for search by Family Historians and other researchers.  Five separate data bases of names of Warwickshire names are now available on this site - and all of these lists are being added to as records are processed.

Should you find something that may be of interest please send an Email to the number below for more information.

LIST OF - KAYE'S WORKS - SOUTHAM - NAMES

A listing of Rugby Cement and other persons who signed up for allotments in Bilton - the majority on Christmas Day, 1880, has already been provided by the Archive and is available at:

Pickard's Pink Pages for Warwickshire Allotment Holders

A listing of Names on Deeds for the former properties on the present Blackburn Market site, that were found in the Archives is also provided here.  The original documents are now in the Lancashire Records Office at Preston.

LIST OF NAMES ON DEEDS FROM BROWN STREET, BLACKBURN

Some of the records that are likely to be of more general interest and/or are associated with names, are being scanned or photographed, so that they can be available ahead of formal cataloguing by the Record Office. 

It has already proved possible to supply information and digital images to researchers.  It is hoped that recipients of data will be able to make a small donation to defray some of the expenses of the work, which is not funded by the successor owner company.

An illustrated talk on the "History of the Lime and Cement Industry of North Warwickshire" is also available.
