Lewis Woolf (Griptight) Selly Oak

I worked at Lewis Woolf in Selly Oak after leaving school. I was only there for about a couple of years but very eventful. Such a lively place and quite an education being there. Would love to see comments from anyone who worked there and even better if there were pictures.
 
From Wikipedia....

Lewis Woolf Grip-tight Ltd owned a rubber plantation in the Far East. At the British Industries Fair its products were listed as patent pneumatic and non-pneumatic baby soothers, rubber teats, bottles, and flycatchers. They had various premises in Bournbrook: rear of 507 Bristol Road; Old School in Hubert Road for rubber processing; Offices 144 Oakfield Road; 508 Bristol Road shop used for storage; 519 Bristol Road as a canteen. They also used the former TASCOS building on the corner of Alton Road until it was destroyed in a massive fire. A dentists surgery now occupies the site.
