Hi

Does anyone remember a lady called June Lloyd or Simmons. If I remember correctly, she told me that she used work on the push chair production line in a factory in Tyseley.
 
Sorry, can't help but this thread gives a bit more info about the factory in Redfern Road. My Mom was a pram upholsterer and Dad was a carpenter making pram frames. Also, my uncle was a bike frame welder at the same factory.

The Co-OP (CWS) made bicycles at their Tyseley works. I seems they also made motor cycles. Prams and toys were also part of their production.

Within this link are many of the former products and trade names used by the CWS. I am sure many will recall them.
