Gone, but not forgotten.
John perhaps it was because like most production factories at that time jobs were very poorly paid. Here are another couple of images of Barford Street from the early 60's.

Thank you everyone! Do we know if the factory at 84 made anything else prior to Laner? Presumably it is a Victorian building. Fab photos.

A 1927 advert, so they were there at that time.
The works was known as Globe Works (old sign on front of building). However, Globe seems a popular name in Birmingham as there were a few others in the city.

We are trying to streamline the Forum by moving threads to a more appropriate section
When they are moved they generally go into the new section with other posts around the year they were postedthey can still be found by using the search facility,
If I add an up to date post eg moved 27/09 it brings the thread right up to date.I am doing it with threads that I feel are still of interest to others on here, and this has some beautiful old photos.

The company that acquired Lander, Gil Investments a private equity group also used to own Dawes Cycles (at least I thought interesting).
