William Henry Wilson and his plasterers, Warren Farm estate
Date unknown · Warren Farm estate, Kingstanding
Mr William Henry Wilson (far right) had a plastering company that completed contracts to plaster houses in the newly built Warren’s Farm estate.
From the memories of David Smith on Voices of Kingstanding’s “Building the estate” page. A reader later commented that William Wilson was his grandfather.
Notes
The image file on Voices of Kingstanding is named “mr-carter”, and an earlier caption named the man on the right as Mr Carter; the page now names him as William Henry Wilson.

Local memories
What people who knew this place have said about it, in their own words. These are memories, not checked facts.
“I am interested in this paga as William Wilson was my grandfather and i have not seen a photo of him before.”
“I have a newspaper cutting sent to me from my cousin Reg Smith the brother of David Smith who contacted you about our Grandfarther Bill Wilson who did some building of some shops in the circle”
“I was born and bought up in Charlton Road and my God mother’s mom and dad (Cashmore’s) were the first people to move into the council house opposite my childhood home when it was first built. Because it was a council house and didn’t belong to them, they insisted on keeping the ‘council’s’ lamp shades in a cupboard, so they could be reinstated if they had to move. … the house still had an outside toilet, the bathroom was still accessed straight from the kitchen, there was still a pantry in the kitchen with a cold slab and the upstairs bedroom doors and frames were still painted in the councils original brown paint.”
