Hello all. I grew up on Brook Lane, Billesley. Around 1969–70, after leaving Oakley Road school, my dad and I caught the bus into Digbeth so I could go for a job at a small electronics works. I failed the maths test because I'd never been taught log tables, so I didn't get the job, but it's always stayed with me as electronics was my first love.
My dad was a regular at the Irish Centre on Digbeth High Street, so the job may have come through someone there.
Does anyone remember small electronics or radio firms in Digbeth around that time? Any names would be a great help. Thanks, Michael
