Hi all, There used to be a message on that wall saying "Welcome Home Boys" I remember my dad saying it was for the lads when they came back from the war. Next to Homericthe tall building was where the cars was builtWhen I was going to Grimesthorpe Sshool in the early fifities it was a coach repair business. I can remember stopping to watch. Later it became part of Homeric, the top floor was a warehouse and the ground floor had the chromium plating baths. nice to hear from you Nettie hope you are keeping well?

And Chappels, Annie stood for no nonsense, a old workmate of mine lived around the back called Pete Prior. John Carnell lived at the Arms end of Chambers lane in the yard before the dyke, I think its a tyre place now.
