Full title - Revised Price list.

Prices and particulars of ‘plastic’ slates made by the Bentley Tileries, Bradwell Wood, Tunstall, Stafordshire, dated 1st March, 1930. The price list is printed on grey card and cream paper, and is folded down the centre. The donor’s family were timber merchants in Taunton, Somerset. They supplied timber and slate to local builders and merchants, and as a result acquired a collection of slate price lists. The majority of the price lists (acquired over a number of years) are from Welsh slate quarries. This price list is an interesting comparison as it gives details of slate substitute roofing material.
