Anyone know anything about Armoury Bank Motor Works in Ashton (which was behind Ashton View nursing home)?. The reason I brought this up is because I have two old b/W photos, one I think was taken circa late 1940s, and the other was taken sometime in the early-mid 50s. They were taken on a Sunday church walking day, and in the background you can see part of the building for Armoury Motor Works and a sign visible. But on the later photo the sign is still there but the name has been removed. Had the company closed by the 1950s?.
