Description: | Financial records. ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY In 1950, in conjunction with the British Metal Corporation Ltd, The Wolverhampton Metal Company Ltd purchased land and built a factory in Botany Bay, Sydney, Australia. With a view to starting business on the same lines as in Wednesfield, key personnel were sent out to supervise the initial stages. The preliminary activities coincided with a severe manufacturing slump in Australia and difficulties were encountered in securing plant and labour of the right type. The building was completed and business continued for at least the following six years. It is unclear from the records that exist whether the company continued trading post 1956. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Rights holder: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Temporal: | 1951-1956 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
