Thread 'Carrs Paper'

There has been interest recently in the architecture of the Carrs Paper offices in Cranmore Boulevard, Shirley.

This was a firm once linked to the Carrs Paint of Birmingham, but established a separate business course specialising in packaging. Trading on this site finished some time ago, but what became of the company business?
 
Carrs Paints was located at the end of Artillery Street, Small Heath just over the canal bridge. They were and still are are industrial paint manufacturer. They moved to West Heath when the land was compulsorily purchased for housing development and subsequently to Redditch. There was a chimney there at Artillery Street as they manufactured their own resins. Carrs was a privately owned company by the Carr family who also owned Carrs Paper at Shirley. Carrs are now owned by an investment company with no Carr family members involved.
