How wierd it must be for you to see these windows again! If you have any info on the earlier history of Romside, would be fascinated. Do get in touch by email if you wanted. There is still quite a bit about the earlier part of the company that we don't know.

Jack Holmes who started the Romside Manufacturing business making these windows - a simple steel pressing; in fact as you all know they made the complete dolls house. I also knew his son, Richard, who continued the business after we left the estate which was off to the west of North Street Romford, opposite the old Romford LT bus garage, and between there and the river Rom, thus Romside. I am amazed to see that they are still around and, as has been said, in such good condition Boffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384890096227132794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708002367015674646.post-32593023315943091272011-07-28T18:35:03.154+01:002011-07-28T18:35:03.154+01:00Yes Christine, most of them are.

Makes a refreshing change - normally they are found to be a bit on the rusty side.
