Kellys Directroy Lookup Request for Poplar, London 1950s/1960s if poss?
« on: Friday 05 May 23 18:50 BST (UK) »
Looking for a Company called Cundell Eve who I think based in Dace Road  on Fish Island. May even be Smeed Road perhaps.  I do know they moved to Witham circa 1970 and were known as Cundell Cartons or Packaging thereafter.

Dave Road is on the border of Hackney Wick between Hackney and Poplar

Was Kellys even available in the 1960s?

The last address I can see from checking newspapers is "Cundell Eve & Co Ltd, Old Ford Works, Smeed Road, E3" (Daily Mail 1 July 1966).

An early sighting (Luton Reporter, 11 Mar 1909) is "Cundell Eve & Co Ltd, Park Square Works, Luton"

Brilliant and I thank you very much.
I am also looking for a company called Boxes Ltd in Dace Road. Shall I re-post the question?

Once again many thanks for your help. Much appreciated.   Is it possible for me to see both adverts or is that a copyright issue?

The Daily Mail through 1988 carried adverts for
1. Guillotine Operator
2. Expd. Printers, Double-Day shift on Favorits
3. Minder req ... for Heidelberg Cyl. on quality carton work
4. Minder req ... for Crosland Auto Platen on quality carton work

This firm popped up a couple of times -

Different company?
