Hi Phil, Thank you for that info. If you can think of anything else please drop me a line. Excellent. Phyllis Nicklin collection is fantastic, I love her photos.Ruth
I remember in about 1961 when Nechells House was still relatively new the company that a couple of friends of mine worked for moved into the premises on the second or third floor on the Adams street side. They were a polishing company "Dunn's" I believe and I spent a day helping to manhandle the polishing mops into the new premises. These is the list of tenants at that time, although I understand that Nechells house opened on November 19th 1957 which if I'm honest sounds early to me. The photo attached is from the Phyllis Nicklin collection.
