The former Moreland's match factory
S. J. Moreland and Sons was a family company, founded in 1867 and wound up in 1976. It manufactured "England's Glory " matches.
History
[ edit ]
Samuel J. Moreland, son of a sawyer from Stroud , Gloucestershire was born in 1828. In 1867, he moved to Gloucester , and opened the Moreland Trade Factory (which still stands today, on Bristol Road) to manufacture those matches.[1] [2]
In 2010, there was a campaign to relight the celebrated "England's Glory" sign (unlit since the 1970s) on the factory, some residents even offering to pay.[3]
The electoral ward of Moreland, Gloucester is named after the factory.[4]
