    Prefabs

    I remember walking to my nan's house as a little girl and seeing the prefabs that ran along the edge of Witton Lakes Park (Perry Common Road). Not sure how long they have been gone, but a good number of years I would think

    Tubes Limited

    Hello, just spotted this thread about Tubes Limited (TI). My Dad, William Millward used to work here many years ago (I remember it being late seventies and early eighties) not sure of the time he started. I just wondered if anyone remembers him or has any photos of him. Thank you (P.S...

    Ahh, yes, well before my time. I wasn't born until the late 1960's. I wonder what number they lived at?

    Jobborn, Francis & Ravenhall - metalwork company - Aston.

    Thank you Mikejee and Rob T. Thinking about it, it probably would of been in the name of just Jobborn and Francis. Ravenhall (typo in my original post), was a relative of Jobborn and taken on as an employee, rather than partner. Must of been an official set up then for them to be in...
