Fraser Eagle

[Atarah]

Went to buy wallpaper from Graham and Brown, who of course are on the Shuttleworth Mead site, which is where Fraser Eagle were based. The large eagle on the side of one of the buildings had been a reminder of this company for many months after they had gone out of business.

This must be the new owner of the "rather large" site. Good luck to them.

I have done a bit of googling

What More UK Ltd. - The most dynamic plastics company in Europe

"What More UK Limited has invested in a new property situated on Shuttleworth Mead Business Park. This building will be used as head offices, leaving room at the site on Altham Industrial Estate for production and transport to expand and grow"

Was it FE that had the building on Cannon st?
I heard there was once a bus co head office there?

I asked my other half if he knew any FE drivers. He says he remembers when they had just two coaches Fraser had one and Eagle the other. Now thats going back a year or two!!

In the early 50s, Fraser's were based somewhere around the bottom of Water St
