I do indeed remember Ponds tools. I too as an apprentice in the 70’s, Ponds tools was the place to go. Buy once and buy for life.

Great shop! Always had exactly what you wanted! Made many trips there in the 1970,s. Was very well known within the construction & engineering industries!

They were in Steelhouse Lane in 1954. Probably moved due to demolition scheme in early 60s.

This looks like W. Pond was exibiting at a trade show judging by the reovable banner advert.

My uncle, George Edwards, was the manager of Pond's in Corporation Street in the 1960's and early 70's. I used to go and see him with my Dad when we wanted some gardening tools. We always got a good deal! Does anyone know when the firm closed.
