Gravydownshi   10 #11 Posted September 22, 2017 I was an apprentice in the machine shop from 1965 to 69. My name is Brian Cowling...ring any bells? ( milling section ) Our training officer was George Cooper . He was a goody-goody type.. gave a tenth of his earnings to his church if that helps..He was a nice man. His brother Alf worked there also but was a polar opposite of George. He was made up to shop foreman just before I left and was quite strict. Must have gone to his head. He used to stand at the end of all the machines at 5 minutes to finishing time to make sure nobody washed off early. Other names I remember were Jack Hardy ( tool stores boss ) who died before I left. John Hazard...charge hand. Phillip Berger and Kenneth Cook ( two apprentices set on same time as me.) Byron Watson (machinist and shop steward) . I named my first son after him. A guy called Ted..highly skilled bloke .worked on the milling section also...his second name will come to me after I post this.... ( just remembered..Ted Belk ) When I got to about 20 or 21 I left for a job with more money..to Ashow Engineering. .who paid most in Sheffield at the time Over all I have fond memories of Edward Pryor and Sons.  ---------- Post added 22-09-2017 at 20:23 ----------  Just wondering if anyone worked there late 60s early 70s .i started as an apprentice engineer then worked in the engraving shop had some good times there  What was you name?
