I have links to J and R Smith, a carpet dealer who eventually moved to Bull Street. I know they also opened another shop in Liverpool which became very successful. I have some info . on both,but not too much on the B-ham branch. Willing to share my bits and hopeful someone can help.

J and R Smith,were carpet dealers,formed in the 1830's,who spent many years in Bull Street. A larger outlet was set up in Liverpool and was very successful. I have a few newspaper cuttings from the BNA,but amlooking for any information,photos etc. Tony Smith
 
Rob T, That was quick and absolutely spot on.As I said the Liverpool shop I have unearthed so much,including a centenary booklet. Hard to believe that it's proving more difficult to find stuff on our home patch.Many thanks,Tony
 
Benjamin, did not stay with the carpet trade,he was instrumental in founding the Wesleyan Assurance and is featured in their Centenary booklet.
