NIce, some of those storage units would be quite desirable these days!

I bought quite a bit of stuff from there in the last few days before they vacated. Annoyingly I was a tad later than you and quite a bit had already been skipped!

Interesting stuff but you appear to have a few doubles in there plus perhaps best not to advertise the exact date you looked round...

I used this shop from 1989-2001 so knew the owners well, the company I worked for in Digbeth GP PLASTICS LTD use to use half of the shop in 70s
so they gave me a few things etc plus the photo i found in the celler
