Plasterers Records

The History

With the industrial revolution came the increased need for factories and houses.

Plasterers developed as a single skill trade to apply plaster to the finished surface.

What records can you find?

The modern records centre at Warwick University maintain the archives of trade union records including the various plasterers unions.

A personal visit or hiring a researcher would be required as the records are not yet online.

County Records Office and Local Museums both hold records of relevant firms and individuals.

Searches should be made firstly by the individual persons name, then by the firms name and lastly by the trade.
