Albany is famous for a lot of firsts: modern electricity for one and billiard balls as we know them today. But wipe away this Albany original and the world would all be lost. Spectrum News is talking about perforated toilet paper, which was first created in the Capital city.
The first toilet paper was invented in the late 1850s, but Albany is responsible for the modernised version used presently in roll form. And just to prove how serious its inventor Seth Wheeler was, he left behind diagrams from his 1891 patent, solving the long debated argument of over vs under.
Accrol Group Holdings plc (LON:ACRL), based in Lancashire, is a leading tissue converter and supplier of toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and facial tissues, as well as other tissue products, to major discounters and grocery retailers throughout the UK.
