The Rains business supplied building products. This 1928 advertisement indicates that they had several of warehouses in Birmingham. One depot was beside the canal opposite Crescent Wharves. Their premises were somewhat isolated, being placed close to the Top Lock Farmer's Bridge. Access was via a timber yard and a road down to Summer Row, with a entrance between Friday Bridge & Saturday Bridge. There is nothing there now and it is now part of Brindley Walk.
