J&J Dyson, Stannington - employees..

[WTAW 10]

I remember "Dusty". If I remember right he left for a while but came back whilst I worked there. Goodison was a common name, Nichols as well. They stopped doing the kids parties but for a while carried on with Christmas presents for employee kids as well as Christmas cakes and hampers for ex-employees.

The snooker table held some years of muck as well!

I remember Ken Unwin,he lived on Wellgreen Road. I was in Stannington Scouts with his son.

Ken was a friend of my dad Frank who worked at Marshalls for 51yrs.

Everybody in Stannington worked for Dysons Wraggs or Marshalls.

I worked at Sandygate Motors which was owned by Dysons.

Hi Ed Marples,  I am Ken Unwin's son.  I remember you from the Stannington scouts.  I was nicknamed Bunny then.  I remember you living on Well Green Road just below the gennel to the Uppergate and Top House.  I think I have a photo of us taken at Alport Castles when we went hiking once.  I'll try to look it out.
