coindex


This website is undergoing a very slow transformation into a more professional site! This is a basic index of the companies that are on the website most are live but in some cases we are still awaiting information so there is no active link.. This list is based on some of the well known companies that operated within Birmingham & Smethwick. Additional companies have been entered from the 1956 Kelly's Directory for Birmingham & Smethwick. For some of the companies listed we have already been provided with a comprehensive history. For others were are using existing web sites (with permission) or re-edited versions of those web sites. Credit will of course be given to the webmaster and links provided on the links page. For any of these companies listed we would like further information, especially from former workers. If you are connected in any way with any of these services or companies your input would be appreciated. You can even write your own web page, you supply some text and we will do the rest. Leave your memories here, don't take them with you, as of yet the internet hasn't reached heaven!
