Jtbee   10 #14 Posted November 6, 2018 Hi, I worked for Bradbury Construction as a painter, decorator and signwriter, I did my apprenticeship there, I started in 1961 and left in 1976. Nevs second name was Dawson,worked with him many times, he was a good friend. Sadly lost touch with everyone after leaving as I moved away from the area. Anyone remember Roy Mellors, painters shop foreman, Jack Shirt, main mechanic in the garage. I believe Archie Adams from the joiners shop is still with us, and I still see Dennis Crofts from time to time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Vic went on to be the Dangerous Structures officer at the Town Hall and I again had the honour to work along side him in this work. The other bloke i remember from Bradbury,s was Charley Wild the lorry driver who Vic used to say was the most honest man he had ever had work for him, Charley lived on Grouse St at Walkley. That was my granddad, what a nice memory of him, Daniel Spivey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
