The tile business was Robert Abraham Ltd per the 1966 directory which lists it at 43 Bankhall Street - it's the same building of course.

"Robert Abraham Ltd
Robert Abraham Ltd (Robert Abraham) manufactures 'Hardrow Slates', a stone finish imitation of the traditional stone slate. The company began production in 1924 and now has a factory at Liverpool, opened in 1931, and another at Burton-upon-Trent, opened in 1961."
