Thank you, I know this is part of the Tubes, Im looking for Bromford tubes on Bromford lane erdington. My Grandfather used to work there in the 50'S

this is a very long shot as I see this post was in 2011 (12 years ago!) Has anyone got a photo of bromford tube works?

Yes it is Valour, the stantions are in the same place as is the press shop. The floor was filled in with concrete later in the 60's and the production lines turned 90 degrees all 16 of them.

Absolutely yes, I was the pressings manager for about 5 years there from 1994-1999 working under Phil Morel & director Steve Everitt. It was a great place to work & probably one of the best places I have ever worked for so many reasons. My grandmother, auntie & mother worked there 40 years...

The Back to Backs in Hurst street Brum, My father made the windows for these (by hand) when they were refurbished by the British heratage. about 20 years ago. My father David Hurst is an excellent joiner although just entering his 80's now he is a staunch Brummie!

Thank you very much. Although I now live in Scotland I do miss Brum very much. My mother had a cafe in Erdington high st for many years & when the opportunity arises I visit. Once again thanks very much.
