Factory Where Tony Iommi Worked in Aston

Hello, I am visiting Birmingham next month for my favorite band, Black Sabbath's final concert. In addition to the show, I'm equally looking forward to visiting their former neighborhood and have found a lot of places to visit, but was wondering if anyone might know what sheet metal factory Tony Iommi worked in, sometime around 1966 or 67? The closest information I have been able to find was a BBC story mentioning it was on Summer Lane and I know he lived nearby on Park Lane. I'm guessing it may no longer be there, but was hoping to walk by the address where it would have been. Thank you for any help!
 
hi and welcome...as you say doubt if the factory is still there but hopefully someone may know the name of it and if it was on summer lane..you will probably know that ozzies childhood home at 14 lodge road aston is still there....hope you enjoy the concert

Thank you! Yes, I am set to go to visit Ozzy, Bill and Geezer's old homes. Unfortunately Tony's was torn down.
