Shelleys factory

Does anyone have any photographs of Shelleys, which was in Aston Brook Street? I lived opposite this factory during my childhood.
What did they manufacture?

I can remember watching the employees going to the friday (or was it a saturday?) night dances. My mates and I would give marks out of ten for the girls dresses.

If anyone does have a photo, I would love to see it posted.
 
Shelley's Factory

Hi Abba, I worked at Norton Motors from 1954 until 1957, based at the Shelley factory in Aston Brook Street, they made motor cycle parts. I used to go to those dances which were on Friday nights in the works canteen, I think it was about a shilling entrance fee. I wonder if you marked my dresses 10 out of 10?
