As the plan for the Standard Works progresses, Heritage Projects JQ are looking for information about the Standard Works and it's last owner, Joseph Smith. Can we/anyone provide any information about Mr Smith? Viv.

The firm Joseph Smith & Son went into the works between 1950 and 1954. There is no evidence of a firm by that name in Birmingham in 1950, so presumably it was newly formed or renamed.
 
Thanks Mike. I've posted a link to this thread with Heritage Projects JQ so they'll see your comment. For forum members information, this Hockley Flyer article is a nice piece on its history. Viv.

Absolutely great photos Horsencart. Gives a good feel for the old works. Some interesting items too. Thanks for posting. Viv.
