British Insulated Cables Ltd of Prescot and Helsby - advert, 1926
This is a wonderful advert - with illustrations showing the locations of the Company's branch offices - along with the heraldic achievements (coats of arms) of the various cities and towns. These include Glasgow (St Vincent St), Dublin (Crow St), Birmingham (Livery St), London (Embankment), Edinburgh (St James Sq), Belfast (King St), Liverpool (South Castle St), Cardiff (Queen St), Bristol (Victoria St), Middlesbrough (Queens Sq), Leeds (Basinghall St), Manchester (Parsonage), Swansea (Picton Place) and Newcastle (High Tyne Bridge).
British Insulated Cables were amongst the earliest mass-producers of electrical cables at the start of the industry's development in the early 20th century. Based on Merseyside they would, in 1945, merge with Callender's Cables to form the familiar BICC - British Insulated & Callender Cables.
The splendid advert is from a 1926 electrical trades journal.
