Description:In this 1935 advertisement C.H. Billington of 173 Sherlock Street, describes himself as a plumber, gasfitter and electrical engineer, as well as a specialist in central heating. The potential customer would also note that Charles Billington is a contractor for the Birmingham Gas Department. The reference to 'D.C. and A.C. wiring' reflects an era when there was rather less standardisation than there is today. By the end of World War II Mr Billington had moved to 1452 Pershore Road, Stirchley, and was still there into the 1960s.
