In 1956 the address of the factory was 127 Hockley Hill, with occupants Leonard Bloom,. house furnushers. I 1950 it was still Blooms, but they describe themselves as export packers. In 1946 still blooms, but packing case makers. In 1944 Leonard Bloom, cabinet maker. In 1944 127 Hockley Hill was Grays, motor cycle agent.. IncidGuest Streetently , in 1940 Leonard bloom , cabinet maker was at 53 Guest Street, so it looks as if jhe expanded his premises

Thread 'Lucas Great King Street memories'

Jun 15, 2003

Thanks a lot for posting the photos of the history and the razing of
the Lucas buildings. My Mother worked as a Secretary at Lucas's
in the early l930's. She told me she had one of the first electric
typewriters in Birmingham whilst she worked there. She often told me how strict the Managers were in those days and how secretaries and typists had to be very careful indeed that their work was correct since
if they had too many typing errors in their work they had to forfeit a small
fine out of their wages!!! Lucas's did not allow married women to work in their offices at that...
