My Mum Hilda Brown worked there in the 1930s, but I suspect these buildings were elsewhere in West Bromwich, Rob. She worked in the Bromford Lane factory which was still going till fairly recently. The Bugle did a feature on the same series of postcards, very interesting, have a look at their website under Manifoldia. The postcards may have been commissioned by the company and may be later than 1913, WWI even.
