Did anybody work at Turton Brothers at Neepsend. I worked there from 1967 - 1970, and remember lots of great characters. Managing Director's name was Harry Eyre.

Yes i worked there in 1967 as well.  I was secretary to Graham Calderbank in the shear blade department.  The foreman lived across the road and went home for his lunch every day.    I used to go to corner shop for potted meat sandwiches for my lunch.  I was the only female in that department and remember Alan Brown who rode a motor byke and had baby twins.  They will be in their 50s now.  Had so much fun there and have so many memories.
