W. Hopcroft & Son, Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton
W. Hopcroft & Son of Chapel Ash, Wolverhampton were stonemasons, specialising in memorial stonework. Unfortunately, the long established business closed some years ago, but the premises remain empty to this day. Situated behind the main shop in Chapel Ash, this is the side entrance to the works. The picture looks like it could have been taken in the early '70s, and indeed would have been typical of the hundreds of small, back-street factories being demolished at the time, ...but no, it was taken only yesterday.
