Hi Otters - what was your grandfather's name as I used to work in the offices at Mellowes in the early 50's and might have known him.

An addition to the gang which worked in Scunthorpe during the 50's, ( see my post on the thread mentioned by hillsboro) was a guy named Vin Norton. And possibly a Ken Eggleton. All of them were window fixers and made a fortune.

Hi again otters - rang a friend last night who still lives in the Sheffield area. We first met when we both started work at Mellowes and I rang to ask her if she remembers Charles Jarvis. She stayed at Mellowes a good many years after I left and she does remember "Mr Jarvis" has we had to call them then, no christian names! She says he was a real nice man and a gentleman.

In the early 1960's I knew a George Clay who I think, had worked there in some sort of managerial capacity. He was the landlord of a pub in St Ives, Cambs by that time.

Hi Choirgirl thats so nice to hear of Grandad, I was only young when he past away so I only have very distant chilhood memories, one of us as children going and leaping on his bed when he was asleep not good for someone with a bad heart use to get a right ticking off from mum, and him being very jolly I'm sorry I do not know any names that use to work with him. It would be great to hear from any one who did know him or if dad ever worked there.
