I started at British Steel shepcote lane in1968 in the fabrication shop and worked there until it closed in 1985, then moved to the bar mill. The mill eventually closed down and a printing works occupies the site now. Happy days sad to see it all close down.

Just been scrolling thru Whitby Rd school I remember Terry Tennant he was in my class and his sister Valerie was in my wife's class.
