Robert Fletcher & Son Ltd, cigarette papers & fine tissue manufacturers, Greenfield & Kearsley, advert - 1960

From the Saddleworth Official Guide of that year an advert for the specialist concern of Robert Fletcher who were major manufacturers of the fine papers and tissues such as those used in cigarette wrappings. The company, whose head office was in Kearsley near Manchester had apparently reconstructed the Greenfield Paper Mill in 1920. Information given elsewhere notes that the company was in fact owned by Imperial Tobacco.

 

The guide is for Saddleworth UDC that was a very western outpost of the old West Riding of Yorkshire and that indeed was moved into the new County of Greater Manchester in 1974 - as can be seen the postal address was given as 'near Oldham' in Lancashire.
