Summary

[General description] The new premises of Barnet Glass' rubber manufacturers are a two storey corner building in the art deco style and feature a curved cantlever verandah. The tyres manufactured by this company were very well regarded, 'miles cheaper and Australian' and their Boomerang anti-skid tread tyres were famous by 1917. This firm eventually merged with the Dunlop Tyre Company.
