I'm looking for a company that was based in Birkenhead in the late 60's early 70's called Fibreglass Ltd. They were part of the Pilkington Group and made glass fibre matting to the car industry and for baths etc. They were based in either Gautby Road or Valley Road. Does anyone have any information about them and when they moved or closed? Photographs would be fantastic.
They were, as you say, in valley road off gautby road. they opened in the earl 50s and closed in the 60s. they transfered the work to wrexham area and some of the gautby road workers went with them. For the people working there and there families, it used to be really uncomfortable because of the slivers of fibreglass that was everywhere in the house,brought home by the worker who was absolutely covered in it. I know because my brother worked there.
