Hi Ellbrown
that is a gem of a picure of whites ironmonger
and may i also say it was a gem of an ironmongers paradise you will never find a good old fashioned mongers like that
Ever again , unless of course you visit the old black country musuem
Even then they would not match up to whites heirlooms
they stocked up and out with every tool ever made on the planet
It was like some one said yes its a time warp another world and it was dark and cold feel inside the shop
the tools of yester years going back centuries if you can name it they stocked it
way back in the seventys we went there to buy some tools and Gold paint, we was recomended to go there
By some one whom used them we was totally amazed to see what we did see
and yes it was a one and only true historic building of birmingham and of historic business of brum;
best wishes Astonian,,,,
