I AM collating details of a company called Embolite (owned by Charles Horner), which operated in James Street from 1946 up to about 1970, and whose main product was plastic propelling pencils. I should be pleased to hear from anyone (especially ex employees) for their memories re size of workforce, details of other plastic items produced, sales catalogues etc, and do any readers still have any original products tucked away in the back of a drawer? My phone number is (01904) 422685.
