I appreciate that this might be an over the border issue but as many brummies worked for Joseph Lucas then I wonder if you might help - I'm hoping to discover exactly when the Joseph Lucas Group Research Centre in Shirley was actually occupied/officially opened. I'm aware that plans were made in 1962 to move the group research function from Marston Green and to build the research centre in Shirley, where it stands today on the Stratford Road. I believe that the official opening was in 1965 but it has been suggested that the building was occupied in 1964.
Can anybody confirm these dates or do you have any information about the building and its people from those times ?
Thanks
Martin
