The house flag of Cory Colliers Ltd, London. A red, rectangular flag with a white diamond in the centre. The flag is made of a wool and synthetic fibre bunting with a cotton hoist and is machine sewn. A rope and two Inglefield clips are attached.
Cory Colliers were a branch of William Cory and Son. Originally in the coal trade, they became tug operators, taking over several other companies. In 1985 they were consolidated under the control of Cory Towage Limited, and the flag emblem was altered from a white diamond to a blue one edged white. They were taken over and absorbed by Bureau Wijsmuller in February 2000.
