My enquiry relates to the making of tin/holloware................they had a contract with British Waterways in the 1950's to supply their canal boats with water cans quite often called these days, wrongly, Buckby cans.
There were also AG Lester and a firm called Bococks making similar items. Any help much appreciated..............................

They were actually in Rea St south, off Digbeth. The position is shown in red on the c1950 map

Am not an admirer, but am amazed by some of the constructions on the dedicated facebook site, which seems to have infiltrated my inbox for soem reason
