Browsing on the Forum, as you do, and came across this post [very interesting] & remembered seeing quite a description of the factory on the urban exploration site called "28 Days Later".

This site has lots of stuff on old Birmingham buildings & factories. Free to use but need to register [free] to use search function. I find the site fascinating. Here's a couple of pics about William Griffith buts lots more. https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/threads/william-griffith-sons-birmingham-july-2016.104387/
