Blundell

Sorry I missed your reply - many thanks for it.
I would be very interested in the locations of the sources you have.
Putting together a list to look into during a visit to The Forge Mill Needle Museum in Redditch when they reopen - lots of Blundells were employed there. Would be happy to add to my list any specific questions.
 
Hi all,

Great thread the bit about disappearing seems very true! My farther was a Blundell sadly not part of my life and so researching it have connected with family members via DNA matches have heard the story from others about banardos & Canada. I've been thinking of reaching out to discover more the Canadian branch.

Happy to hear from others
 
The cinema that used to be in Green Lane became Blundells that sold everything. My mom worked as a cleaner at the cinema and when it closed she was given the curtains which were made of gold velvet. We used to go to Blundells a lot. If I remember they operated on a scheme where you could pay weekly for goods.
 
Sue, John Blundell Ltd. has no connection to this thread. John Blundells, credit drapers, are mentioned elsewhere. A search should find it.
