Does Anyone Remember Bone Cravens?

[JEB1 10]

Does anyone remember Bone Cravens (not the trailer company). I worked there in the late seventies. I was a good place to work all in all. The people who worked there were great for the most part.

If anybody remembers working there please post your memories.

They made plastic extrusion machines and I did not work there but I did load and deliver the machines both in the UK and Europe.

My grand-dad Bernard Sharpe worked at Cravens from the 60's up until being made redundant in 1982.

my uncle James Brian Fargher worked there for many years, I believe he joined Cravens not long after the war and was there till he retired wich would have been about 20 plus years ago

Yes my dad many many years ago.

Bone Cravens did'nt make large lathes.These machines were manufactured by Craven

Machine Tools which was then based in Stockport ,many people get the two companies mixed up.Hope this can be of help to you.
