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

already been provided by the Archive and is available
at:
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.
