Recommended Posts

Wilf's dad was the manager in the machine shop. I played basketball for many years with Wilf at Granville Coll. Garry Peacock played also.

I used to work with a fella called Maurice Tobin, he was blind in one eye after he suffered a bad accident in Firth-Browns' scrap yard. He would have been there in the latter years.
