Administrative / Biographical History
The Amalgamated Society of Coremakers of Great Britain and Ireland was formed in 1902 by the merger of various local coremakers' unions. In 1920 it amalgamated with the Friendly Society of Iron Founders of England, Ireland and Wales and the Associated Iron Moulders of Scotland to form the National Union of Foundry Workers.
