proper brummie kid
Hi all,
I have another entry from my Great Grans biography, dated circa 1930:
"The younger boys used to go over some waste ground (they called it the Millers) to pick cinders where the Whitaca Ellis (sic) men used to burn. Sometimes they would give them some cokes."
I'm pretty certain she is referring to the firm Whittaker Ellis on Cardigan Street. Would anyone know what line of work the company was in during the 1930s and what they might have been burning? Possibly refuse collections?
Also if anyone knows where The Millers might have been, that would be the icing on the cake.
Best wishes,
Carl
