Last Chance
proper brummie kid
Hi,
Can anyone place a company named Birmingham Ships' Lens? I've googled it to death and nothing remotely like this surfaces.
From the information I have, BSL was bought up by Chance Brothers (understandable given that they were the largest lighthouse builders in the world), but this is just a single mention in Sir Hugh Chance's memoirs. I'm guessing BSL was taken over in the early 20th century, possibly after WWI when the country was on it's collective knees.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
David E
