Two 'factory' police locks; one for Newton Road, the other Erdington. Not entirely sure how or why these were used. Maybe used during strikes ? Does anyone know ? Viv.

Hello
Very interesting items. I cannot say for sure what they were used for in the past. The police were responsible for the security of many buildings in years past and they may relate to that. They could also have been used for locking up police premises perhaps.
