My dad worked for T G Lilleyman & Son from the mid 1940s until he retired in about 1975. He was a press toolmaker and worked on the blanks for surgical forceps and scissors. Mr Ernest Lilleyman, a real gentleman, was the MD at that time (he lived at The Dutch House at Sandygate). Dad sometimes took me into the firm when I was very small. Other people who worked there were Mr Gervase/Jervis; Bill Fisher, Denis Burrell. At the time of my dad's death in 1991, the MD was Mr Ernest Lilleyman's son-in-law, Mr Stewart McK. Hamilton. Somewhere I have a snap of the workers after a presentation of fishing match prizes.

Hi I used to clean for Stewart Hamilton when he and his wife Susan lived at Swinglea Grange, at Hollow Meadows. They moved to Misterton in Somerset in 2006. Sadly Susans mother Mrs Lilleyman died last year. Penny.
