Hi,
Can anyone give me some clues about the existence of this factory? My elderly neighbour believes it was situated in the Key Hill area of the Jewellery Quarter (possibly in or around Hylton Street) and traded in the 1940s and early 1950s. He believes that the factory owner was a certain Harold Oates during the mention period. My neighbour was helped during his childhood by Mr Oates and is trying to discover some information about his factory and what happened to him.
Here's hoping somebody out there can throw some light on this business !
