Hello Geoff, I wonder are you any relation to Derek Beal an upholstery foreman at Atkin and Ansell? I worked at Scotts from 1968 'til being made redundant in 1972. I remember lots of the upholsterers names.
Hello Keith, I worked as an upholsterer at Scotts from'68 to '72. I know Geoff Ellis he worked at C and R Wall on Petre street until they went bust. I remember Mr Harvey, came from down south Portsmouth or similar. I always understood Tyzacks took over the building after Scotts finished -I could be wrong. Your'e probably aware of the refurbishment of the building with the gate house and clock tower being restored ?
