The factory opened in 1945 and was one of Cinderford's largest employers. They made all sorts of plastic items including combs, buttons, toys, dolls, plastic cutlery, bowls, buckets etc and probably some of the more famous items were the Electric Reed Organ and red Double Decker Bus. The storage building was destroyed by fire in 1968, as a child I watched it burn from our back garden. Production did carry on at various other locations up until the 1980s. Anyone who worked there, or has any photos items made there, or paperwork I would love to chat to you. I'm in the process of getting the history of the factory together for a possible book and museum display. Please contact me at:
