Brown Bayleys - do you remember??

[macstewart 10]

I worked at Brown-Bayleys from 1970 to 1980 as an Electrician and can remember working on a fault on the Diesel that shunted the scrap wagons about yard with Frank Staniforth a chargehand at that time. We fixed the fault but were too scared to start up the engine and test it because we were inside a building and the big doors were closed and we were only 10 yds away from them.

Some of you on here must remember my dad Len Theaker he worked there until he was taken ill in 1968 and never recovered sadly. I was 17 then.
