Where is This? 103

Gone, but not forgotten.
A nice easy one again. This should present no problems. Even I know where it is, but there again I have got the answer. For the extra merit points tell me the name of the factory to the right, and what they made there.

Nechells just down from Wing Yip. Jean. Or near to City hospital towards Handsworth. Two guesses to cut down on posts.
 
Postie you pipped me to it my nan lived round the corner in Franchise street. I think the factory is The Tuffnol and it used to ooze out an awful smell. I borrowed my aunts bike without her knowledge and fell off going too fast down that hill. Aston lane runs across it. Jean.
 
Postie

I am going to ban you, you are too good by far.

Jean

You disappoint me, I put one up for you as you keep asking. Perry Barr/ Great Barr, Queslett, its all the same to me and you get it wrong. What am I going to do with you.

Phyl it is Welhead lane but Aston lane and Franchise street run are next to it honest you ask postie. The IMI entrance is just over the hill not the witton end but the one known as Oscott end. Jean. Truth is I would have got it but slept in after a late night which i vary rarely do so it's my fault for being idle. Jean.
 
Jean

Do you mean this end, as for the late nights and oversleeping. I have only one reply to that. Leave the "mothers ruin" alone,

Phil

No gin Phyl I promiss was wrapping gifts donated to my autistic grandsons respite home for the bikers xmas run on the 14th December. When I first looked at the photo i was hasty and not long ago had a brainwave [not get em very often] swore to myself as i realised where it was and then noticed postie got there first. By the way if you want you could put the second photo on under coal merchants as the house on the corner was one. He had a large back yard with a stable at the back where he kept his big black horse. Bye. Jean.
