    E. Bollans & Co., 14 Ranelagh Terrace, Leamington
    (Note Bollans were possibly Wholesalers as well as manufacturers, as some silks are identical to other manufacturers, particularly Welch & Lenton, and the address given on some of Bollans Register entries is that of Welch & Lenton)
    Note too that Godden drew upon, and consolidated, various advertisements of Bollans. The description given by Godden is hence probably limited in several respects. Whilst these inconsistencies are being systematically eliminated from the index below, there may nevertheless be duplication between Goddens description and the more accurate version.
