Thank you.
I am trying to find as much information and as many images regarding the history of Waverley Electronics right through the Ultra. I have some images of the first facility, Cambridge Road and Hampshire Road, however I could with talking to someone who was around throughout the years that may have old photographs of the site, the brown brothers etc. If there is anyone you could put me in touch with that could spare a few minutes, please ask them email me on the address I have provided. Many Thanks.
Thank you for your enquiry, unfortunately, we have not as yet found any photos in our archive (unless anyone can identify them in existing photos), if and when we do, we will of course post them on this website and notify you.
I would be interested to see a photograph of Norman and Hamilton Brown to add to a project I am working on. If this something you could help with, please get in touch.
Thank you
Mel
