From Graces Guide
John Street Leatherworks, Glascote, Tamworth
Manufacturers of suede and leather garments.
1949 The County Chamois Company Limited, of 47 Boutport Road, Barnstaple, was registered as a private company, with capital of £300, to carry on the business of dealers in chamois leather cleaning materials and appliances.[1]
1957 The firm quickly found Devon an unsuitable location for business and moved to premises at Aston Cross in Birmingham. The company's fortunes were transformed by the development of a chamois leather attached to a stick and sold for cleaning cars.[2] By 1960 the company were operating from Tamworth and appear to have made the move into garment manufacture thereafter.
