Parker Winder and Achurch in its imposing completed form, dated in this photo 1937. A few more views of different parts of the building on this same Royal Institute of British Architects website
DoneI wonder if a mod could correct the title to this thread please. The last name should be Achurch (not Allchurch). Many thanks. Viv.
PWA moved into the new Broad Street building in 1936. In 1972 they relocated to the Kings Norton district of Birmingham, where they remained until 1992 when the company was acquired by Frederick Cooper Ltd., the UK's foremost paint spraying and powder coating company.Fascinating to read about this company as my mother and I have just found an old catalogue of theirs from the early / mid 1930’s. An earlier post suggested that they are still trading but I can’t find any records of that. Another website suggested they had been acquired by another company but I can’t confirm that either. Does anyone know? Would love to pass the catalogue on to someone rather than send it to the tip, feels such a shame to do that. ThanksView attachment 178619View attachment 178620View attachment 178621
