Hello, I am new to this site.
Do you mean 245 Grove Lane, Handsworth? I worked there from 1971 to 1981 when it was the trade association for the Drop forgers and stampers. I am keen for any other info at that time or previous. It is sad that now I have been told the funeral home has closed and it is an empty house with rubbish being placed there and will be a house of multiple occupants so sad. I loved the 10 years I worked there it changed my life.

There's something here from the British Newspaper Archive in 1956 (I can't open the link as I don't subscribe)....

Here is the relevant advert. There are in all 105 hits on Grove hill house. At a glance most seem to be about the association of drop forgers, or concerning the school that was there in the late 19th century
