Workers posing outside the Goodman works in Caroline Street. They look happy and ‘clean’. I’d say the photo is around 1910s/20s. Did this business become part of Newey Goodman ?

Would anyone have any information regarding this company? ie what it produced etc. My Great Aunt worked there as a PA/Secretary until just before her death in 1986. Her name was Marjorie Renouf and I know very little about her other than she lived in Keddleston Road. Many thanks in...

What a fabulous photo of those women workers! I've just found out that in 1921 my Grandmother Clara Wilson worked as a pin capper for G Goodman's of Caroline Street, Birmingham. She was living in Graham Street at that time. I don't know if that was anywhere close to the factory? I notice the 2nd poster image is dated 1929, could she be one of those ladies in the photo?
Just looked on Google maps and found it was only 5 mins walk

Found this old letter typed letter Labelled "Objection 3". Seems he was ,disputing a pay rise for his workers in 1919.
