Adverts issued by J. C. Edwards Ltd., Ruabon, North Wales : catalogue pages from " The Contractors', Merchants' and Estates' Managers' Compendium" : London : 1909 : 1 - tiles

            Three pages of adverts from the "Compendium" of 1909 and showing the various products of the famous J. C. Edwards of Ruabon in North Wales. The company existed from 1903 until 1956 and was one of a number of such companies, manufacturing bricks, terracotta and tiles that exploited the exploit the natural clay beds, and materials associated with the local coal industry; Ruabon is still famous for the deep red 'quarry' tiles that are produced in much reduced numbers.

In a way we see Edwardian architecture as often being 'fussy' to modern tastes but one has to marvel at the range of products seen here that were decorative as well as functional. Many miles of 'better quality' British homes of the period still sport such products on homes, roofs, and garden walls. There are a wealth of special bricks, such as for inset panels, and items such as chalk rail tiles for school rooms. There is also an immense range of pier caps and copings in red buff or golden buff terra cotta.
