I was an apprentice 1969 to 1973 and trained by George Cooper in the training school. He was good man and trained me well. I was a first year apprentice with Jan, Brian, Bob, Jeff, can't remember the others. The fitting shop included Melvin, John, Bill and the foreman was Dave Rayner. There were some very talented people in the drawing office including Keith, Stuart and Peter. I remember some interesting engineering jobs including gas bottle marking machine. Used to enjoy a pint of shandy at the Domino on hot summer lunchtimes. ---------- Post added 28-11-2017 at 07:14 ---------- Just remembered, Pryors had a small additional building in Broomhall that had offices, research lab and a canteen. I think old Ronny Pryor and other senior staff had offices there. The first year apprentices often had fish and chips there on a Friday.

Does anyone have any old photographs of meadowhead showing the old Brocklehurst garage?

I remember Uncle Roy, a hod carrier, always had his suits made a BG. He had the physique to carry the suits.
