Cheney Manor Trading Estate, Swindon, McGraths Plastic Moulders
« on: Saturday 11 October 14 20:02 BST (UK) »
Can anyone supply any information on a factory called McGraths located at Cheney Manor Road, Cheney Manor Trading Estate, Swindon in the 1950's/60's? They were plastic moulders and I would like to find out the following in particular: Dates factory opened and closed, exact location on the trading estate and reason for closure? I believe they were in business in the period 1958 to 1963 but this is unconfirmed at present. Any other information would be welcome.

Have you tried a query to the local Chamber of Commerce in the area? It's sufficiently recent that there may well be people who recall it. Or get a current telephone directory for the area, and ring firms in a similar line of business. Both well worth a try ( I get the feeling you're looking for the history of the firm, rather than seeking to find just any good firm that does that kind of work).
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
