cycle factory in erdington area closed down in the 70s

The only place that may have manufactured their own machines that I can think of is Tower Cycles. They were in Gravelly Lane. I think they closed down in the 90's though. Hope this is of use to you.
 
George H Hughes was in Stephens Street,Aston Manor(off Newtown Row) and made bathchairs Wheelchairs and later bicycles.
They became part of the Wolseley Engineering works in which was in Drews Lane and they were then known as Wolseley Hughes and I believe they were then situated somewhere off Tyburn Road.
