CHAD VALLEY
RECORDS
Independent label: CHAD VALLEY was a
60s Children's Record label.
Chad Valley is a long-established brand of
toys in the United
Kingdom owned by Home Retail
Group. The company has its roots in a printing business
established by Anthony Bunn Johnson in
Birmingham in the early 19th century. Under
the management of his son Joseph and grandson Alfred the company moved to the
suburb of Harborne, in the valley of a stream
called the Chad, from which the name comes. The company was one of the UK's
leading toymakers for most of the 20th century, but in the 1970s it closed
several factories and was taken over by
Palitoy in 1978. The radio comedian
Kenneth Horne was Chairman and Managing
Director of the company from 1956 to 1958.The brand name was
bought by Woolworths in 1988 and remained in
use until that company's closure due to insolvency. Home Retail
Group, the parent company of retailers
Homebase and
Argos, purchased the brand for £5 million on
20 January 2009. The Chad Valley brand is now available exclusively in the new
Argos catalogue.
