I recommend anyone interested in the history of theses amazing trademarks try and attend a special lecture later this month given by my friends at the Bolton Museum….

Bolton was the center of the bleaching industry and their museum archives include many trademark stamps and labels which will be used to illustrate this fascinating lecture.
Bolton Museum was one of the first museums to realise the cultural significance of this part of the industry and have a webpage dedicated to the subject
