I was recently looking at a vintage British shotgun that had replacement barrels branded HARRY HILL OF JESSE HILL, ASH TREE RD, STIRCHLEY, B'HAM. I had never heard of this Birmingham gunmaker, so I had a Google and found the following article by Vic Venters on the Westley Richards website. I thought it was quite interesting. Apparently still in business under "The Last Hill. A gunmaker stepping back in time."
