Answer 1

1. The following details may relate to the company you seek. A company called Tulloch & Co. Ltd. (Company Registration No. 138638) was dissolved in 1914/1915. The brief details that I found at the National Archives website don't give any further details (e.g. location of company, or products/services). The no. 138638 remains unused at Companies House, and there are no registered companies with Tulloch, as part of the name, in the Bexley area (nearly all are in Scotland).

2. That's as much as I could find on the internet, and I am usually quite good at finding information.

3. I would suggest that you contact local history groups in the Sidcup area:
a) Bexley Local Studies and Archive Centre.
http://www.bexley.gov.uk/localstudies/contact.html
b) Lamorbey & Sidcup Local History Society (scroll down or use "find")
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/cbase/eloissue3.htm
c) Kent History Federation (scroll down)

4. You might also contact the Plastics Historical Society. It surprises me that such a group exists, and ..... the Secretary lives in Sidcup (which is how I found it on the internet) - a coincidence, I assume.
