30 St Pauls Square

[joelgabbay]

Hello everybody
Can anyone remember the name of a fairly large factory situated on the corner of St Pauls Square and Caroline Street, the main office entrance was at 30 St Pauls Square. I seem to remember they manufactured bolts - maybe Allen bolts. I worked there in the late 1970’s for Post Office Telephones helping to install their new telephone exchange. I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

Thank you in advance

In the 1973 Kellys no 30 St Paul's square was William Smith (Birmingham) Ltd, electroplaters. The 1978 and 1980 telephone directories show them at that same address

I’ve since found out that the company I was thinking of was Linread

Thank you! Yes the factory occupied most of the block between Caroline Street & Livery Street. They also had offices next to Henry’s Chinese restaurant on St Paul’s Square
