Owl - Not sure if you have looked through this thread for information? It may be worthwhile also putting Tangyes into the search faciltiy as it throws up a few posts with Tangyes mentioned.
I notice there is a 'factory gate film' of workers leaving the factory in 1901.
About 1minute 40seconds into the film a man about to light his cigarette strikes a match on his trousers !!

I bought this book several years ago published by S.W. Partridge & Co London 1889.

Very interesting film. I notice that nearly all the women leaving had headscarves, but for what reason? Modesty? Back in the 1880s it was said that nearly all of the 2000 staff of Tangye were on the waggon!
There is an interesting link to a factory gate film in the forum thread 'Birmingham-faces-from-1901' showing workers leaving the Kynochs factory in 1901. It even shows the boss in his top hat ...Please forget the scarves, I somehow slipped to workers leaving the Jute Factory in Barrow! Have now found the correct one for Tangye.
