My grandad used to work a twist drill his name was Maurice Baxter. He met my grandma there her name was Rose Ware. I can remember them telling me tales of a guy called 'little Billy' they used to pick him up and hang him by his coller onto coat hooks and cover him with a coat for a joke.

 

Does anyone recall any of these names?

My mum (Doris) worked in the offices for years in the 60's & 70's, she loved working there.

 

An old mate of mine (Dennis Mansel) worked 'man & boy' in the stores until they shut the place down.

Does anyone remember any of the electricians at STD ? What a fine bunch of highly skilled blokes, keeping the machines working to a high standard, both days and nights, and they produced a cracking 5 a side football team too.
