As has been said, the site that that map came from is not now available, but a similar map is available at https://maps.nls.uk/view/210969620 and that is 1954
That is great, thank you. I have contacted Firmin and Sons who occupy the site today and they have informed me they build the current factory in 1969, around the time we moved to Waverley Road in Small Heath.
