Default 247 Squadron Badge makers mark

I'm in need of help again, can anyone identify the makers mark on this badge. Its something Ltd, Branston or Cranston St, B'ham. Possibly.
I need a trip to Specsavers in the new year...
Many thanks
Alli

Thanks Simon, was just going to suggest to Leigh that it might be Miller. Perfect, much appreciated.

I thought you were already familiar with these, do you not have a nice Tiger Squadron?
