Thought I had seen the name somewhere - attached today's photo of our 1904 church safe - thought you might like to see it - thanks for the interesting link to the firm.

Until recently the church organ (a Whinfield, not a Whitfield) had a Birmingham made, Alldays and Onion blower of 1908 vintage- it's now an ornament in someone's garden!

Thanks Malvernian. Glad to see that the safe that is now over 100 years old is still in good use. Dave.
