Hi all,
I'm Remco van den Burg from the Netherlands, in my free time I have a hobby, I restaurate old lamps and lanterns. One of my favorite type of lamps are old ship lights.
Now I see very often ship lights out of Birmingham. Can anyone explain why this many manufactures came from here, in the middle of the country?
In the Netherlands we see much manufactures from Rotterdam, what makes sense because it has a large harbour.
I also almost finished my website, if anyone can add any information on the manufactures out of Birmingham I will be very grateful. If any advice where to find more information I would also like to hear.
Some of the brands from Birmingham I found are:
Eli Griffiths and Sons
George Bocock & co
W.m. Harvie & co
Alfred F. Genton
Bulpitt & sons
Pictures and the info I found:
I hope anyone can help to gather more information about the manufactures and why Birmingham.
Thanks in advance
Greetings Remco

Scheepslampen - Alles over scheepslampen - de Lampenman
Een groot deel van de lampen die ik door mijn handen krijg zijn scheepslampen. Op deze pagina staat het gebruik van deze lampen en de mij bekende fabrikanten.
