Madam, - I am currently researching the history of the construction company G & T Crampton Ltd, which is 125 years old this year. This Dublin-based firm has been headquartered in Ballsbridge since the 1890s and was involved in major projects such as the National University in Earlsfort Terrace (now the National Concert Hall), the National Maternity Hospital at Holles Street, the Irish Hospitals Trust, the airport runways at Baldonnel, the American Embassy and the three Intercontinental Hotels (now Jury's).
I would be interested in hearing from readers who may have worked for Cramptons in the past or who have any material relating to the company, and who would be interested in sharing their memories. I can be contacted care of G & T Crampton Limited, Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. - Yours, etc.,
RUTH McMANUS,
Great Western Square,
Dublin 7.
