I was wondering could anybody help me, I am doing research on P.J.Carroll & Co, an Irish tobacco company which had a factory at 34-36 Greenland Street, I believe it closed in the 1950's or 1960's, I am not sure when exactly it opened in 1924, The company is now a subsidiary of BAT, I have asked them but no information is forthcoming, I would appreciate if anybody could tell me the exact date it closed or have any old photographs of the factory.

Hi and welcome I note that you have contacted BAT but perhaps an approach to Ireland may help??

Thanks to those who replied, I am heading over to Liverpool at the end of June and hope to look up some information while there, I did Contact Carrolls in Ireland it is they who are unforthcoming, I used to work as an accountant in the Dublin Office from 1977.
