I do apologise in advance if I have posted this in the wrong category. I am trying to find anybody that worked at the factory in Enfield Redditch aproximately 60 years ago, I'm assuming folks from Brum did travel to Redditch for work back then and depending on which part of Brum you were based in, it's not that far. If anyone could help please I would be most grateful x:

For the record….

ENFIELD (GB) 1907-1915
  1. Enfield Autocar Co. Ltd., Redditch, Worcs. 1907-1908
  2. Enfield Autocar Co. Ltd., Sparkbrook, Birminghan)
1908-1915

The first commercial vehicle made by this company, originally an offshoot of the famous Royal Enfield cycle and armaments firm, was a 3-ton forward control truck with 25 hp T-head 4-cylinder engine and single chain drive. Few were made, and there was little commercial vehicle activity after the change of address which coincided with the acquisition of Enfield by the Alldays & Onions com-pany. In 1914, however, Enfield announced a 5 cwt light van on their 1100cc 4-cylinder Nimble Nine car chassis. This was known as the Parcelette. GNG

ENFIELD-ALLDAY (GB) 1920-1923

Enfield-Allday Motors Ltd., Sparkbrook, Birmingham This company was the result of the merger between the Enfield Autocar Company and Alldays & Onions Ltd.

Though both companies had made commercial vehicles before the war, Enfield-Allday was best-known for passenger cars, and only one commercial model was listed. This was a 2-ton chassis powered by a 4-cylinder 25 hp engine of 4.4-litres capacity. It had a 3-speed gearbox and enclosed chain drive. Not many were made, and after 1923 the company decided to concentrate on light cars. GNG
