I,m trying to find the business where my father-in-law's mother worked in 1923. She was a cardboardbox maker and lived in Northfield.

Boxfoldia moved to Bournbrook in 1934. Previous to that they had been on the Pershore Road in Stirchley, but were only started up in 1923, so, unless she was one of the original employees, it would not have been Boxfoldia
