HI i worked at A B Moores in 1978 they were in park lane and later moved to Tamebridge ind est Perry Bar behind the Ansells head office. I served my apprenticeship with this company for 5 years and must of put thousands of the tops on these tables.
I have been trying to find one for a long time as it has sentimental value ,would you consider selling it to me?
Mr Moore was a tall man always dressed in a suit smoked cigars and he grunted as he walked past me every morning a very scarey man well he scared me anyway.
I can only thank this company because they gave me a very good start in life, i will never forget my time there it was great!!
Hi
Sorry for the late reply. I have spent loads on this table. I ended up having it dipped to bare metal then powder coated. It looks brand new now, My friend has the same one but in the condition mine was in when I first got it. I can ask her?
Do you know if Moores was making the tables around the 1890's ? as the RD number inside mine dates to then? A B Moores could of been a family business pasted down.
