I've been checking Whitehall Rd, but so far have found no factories there that may have been around in the early 1900s (1910-1920). Does Whitehall Rd still exist? Amanda |

can you remember the name of the street, if you had that, then you could start looking at factories that were close to there. |

Actually, as a funny aside to that story, I only know about them living so close to the factory because of the family parrot. Apparently it used to call out "THE GIRLS ARE GOING IN!!!" in the middle of the night, and then laugh at Georgie when he came running down the stairs. Good thing they had that parrot, I would probably not have otherwise known where he worked! Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Amanda |

I'm wondering if anyone in Birmingham might be able to help me. I'm trying to find information on a factory that my great grandfather worked at, possibly involved in the silver/metalworking trade, either on or next to Whitehall Road. I know it was very close to where they lived because my great grandmother used to call "George, the girls are going in!" at which point he'd jump out of bed and go screaming down the stairs and out the door. Can anyone help? Amanda |
