Swann Mortons in Hillsborough 1969.

 

My auntie Lily, Lillian Hughes worked for many years at Swann Morton,during the 40's? 50's and 60's.She worked in the factory then later became a manageress. She later became a director[?] of the company. I believe she came from the Hillsborough area[Hillsborough Road] She married uncle Lol[Lawrence Hughes] who was a draughtsman[Firth Browns?], and they lived at Lyminster Road[50's-early 60's]. They later moved to Nr 6 Castle Drive in Hood Green nr Baaahrnsley.

 

During my childhood I visited them with my parents at their Hood Green bungalow. The area was fantastic for adventuring and I loved it. I was there lots of times.

 

Auntie Lily and uncle Lol never had children and they used to go camping very often. Auntie Lily died approx 8 years ago leaving me a tidy sum, now spent. Uncle Lol died long before she did. She had 2 brothers, Robert and James, and 3 sisters,Mary, Dorothy, and Nora.

 

Despite her nice nature, I believe she was possibly a stickler at Swann Morton.
