I came across the pictures in “The Sphere” magazine on the National Archives online Newspaper site, just searching for anything to do with Birmingham. It was under the title “How big cables are tested” and is probably a one off.
I will have a search to see if i can find any more.
The small section at the start of the post is added material

New action to save the West Midlands most historic buildings
The first four buildings to benefit from new funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), working in partnership with the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF), have more than 1,000 years of history between them.

Hello, I have just found this thread, I saw someone mentioning Charles Farrington, I think he was my moms uncle by marriage, his brother was Harry Farrington, married to my grandads sister. My grandad was also a long serving Avery employee by the name of Bill Tyler, he passed away in 94 and always had a large retirement certificate from Averys on the wall.
lets hope the foundry is saved...can just see a few of the remaining old workers cottages in this st view
