Years of tradition have gone into Dunlop wellingtons, originally founded in the 19th Century by a veterinary surgeon Scotsman, John Boyd Dunlop.
John Boyd had a simple idea that changed the world. While watching his son ride a tricycle he noticed his discomfort whenever he rode over the cobbled and uneven ground. He knew the tricycle's solid rubber tyres were to blame. The solution? He wrapped the wheels in thin rubber sheets, glued them together, and inflated them with a football pump for a cushioning effect – thus creating the pneumatic tyre.
Boyd patented the pneumatic rubber tyre in 1888 and in 1889 he opened his first tyre plant in Dublin, Ireland. A factory in Birmingham, England, opened two years later and Dunlop Rubber Co Ltd went from strength to strength. His development was revolutionary, emulating the same success shortly afterwards in the car industry. Ten years later, Dunlop’s invention had almost entirely replaced solid tyres. By 1927 Dunlop had joined forces with Liverpool Rubber Co Ltd and extended the range to include protective footwear. The Dunlop wellington boot was born.
