Think your right with the date Tony as the aluminium head in he picture looks like a E type jag V 12 model.....

Yes, I think the post WW2 period. Long after William Mills died. Very nice find.
The Wednesbury factory in Friars Park Road was set up by the government to produce Engine blocks for the Merlin engine and other power plants. Post war it became the William Mills named subsidiary of The British Aluminium Co Lt. It continued to make engine blocks until (I think) 1977 when is closed. Post WW2 the company sold off the original Mills works in Grove Street Birmingham.
