Bookbinders of West Bromwich

[jce99id]

My grandmother and great Aunt were both bookbinders in West Bromwich. I believe at Kenrick & Jefferson's. Does anyone have any information on this company, employees etc.

I have some K&J employees in my tree, one bookbinder c1910, (and I used to work directly opposite their main entrance in the late 1970's!)
