gone but not forgotten
Lee & Wilkes was situated just off Newtown Row, in Aston. I believe it was located at the end of Brewery Street, but I may be slightly out there. I do recall that there was a pub on the corner of the street with Newtown Row.
My great grandfather was employed there from around 1860-1905, my grandfather from around 1885-1928, and my father from around 1925-1975. Needless to say, our family always had wonderful copper kettles, frying pans etcetera.
They produced high class copper ware, and although they produced many items, their main product was copper kitchen utensils for the top hotels and restaurants around the country.
My questions are: Could they still be there, although I very much doubt it, and can any of our very good Birmingham history experts produce any further information on Lee & Wilkes? Many thanks.
