A BUILDING company which was established in 1850 is asking the community to help it collate a record of its 166-year history.

RGB Building Supplies has a branch on the Howden Industrial Estate in Tiverton, and wants to create an archive of its rich past, detailing the people who worked for the company in years gone by as well as what was going on in the wider community throughout this period.

If anyone has old receipts, leaflets, brochures, quotes or photos, or knows someone who has an RGB-related story to tell, the builders merchant would like to hear from them.

Keith Harris, product and marketing manager at RGB Building Supplies, said: “Last year we donated five bogie rail trucks to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway.

“Whether something is five or 50-years-old, we’re looking to create a comprehensive record of our history and would love to see what items or memories people have.”
