Hello -Mel: I have sent you a private message
........ I have been working on my comprehensive catalogue of the works of Waterlow & Sons now for over 25 years. All information concerning the firm is received with great appreciation.
Warm regards,
Mel
Yes - I was a member of the Waterlow Study Circle and wrote a number of articles for the journal. I also have a complete set of the journals in the event that there is an article you are seeking to research. It was a shame when the society disbanded. Although at that time, I was mostly consumed with raising my young daughter who is now headed off to university - so I will now have more time for Waterlows!
Hello -
I am new to this web site. I am a specialist in collecting the work of the British printing firms of Waterlow & Sons and Waterlow Brothers & Layton. I have also been researching these firms for the past 25 years and would welcome the opportunity to share my research with those who are interested. I have not limited my research to only stamps and banknotes but have researched the book and legal publishing, posters, train tickets and related products for use in railway travel, maps, pens, bonds/shares, travellers cheques/bank cheques, and many more items. I also own a number of catalogues together with company produced histories as well as information from the printing archives.
I am always interested in adding to both my knowledge and my collection, I welcome your communication.
Kind regards,
Mel Spinella

Hi, Just seen the posts about Waterlows the printers. My grandfather Frank Alfred Parish worked for the company, I think as a Clerk but know he was a good artist - I have a lot of his drawings now. He retired when he was 80 and died soon after in 1958. Do not know when he started. I believe his younger brother Frederick worked there as well for a while but he went to Canada in 1907. Anyone know if there are personnel records still in existence. Many thanks.I had tried in 1987 to get to the personnel records of the company; all I heard was the records did not survive; I asked for the company that handled the pension of the former employees; no joy there either; this forum is a great place to gather surviving memory and the people who can give us leads.
Well I thought it was about time I revisited this forum as once again my grandfather's wandS books have resurfaced! I'm afraid I never got the chance to even start reading them let alone looking for photos or references to people. There are 14 books each with a minimum of 250 pages
If anyone is still interested (or even remembers me posting on here a couple of years ago), if you can give me a specific year between 1940 and 1960 and any other relevant info I will sit/lay down and have a good read. It may take some time though - each one contains everything from gala dinners to christmas dinners and birthday bashes, summer trips, day trips, every conceivable sports awards, matches and league tables, retirements and new starters, competitions, quizzes and puzzles, photos and a whole host more - in fact more information than I've ever seen crammed into one year book!
Please email me at (*) if you have any requests and I'll do my best for you.
