Mikesmith   0 #1 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Does anyone remember the Sheaf Optical Works on Duke Street,and any of the people who worked there around 1962/63 The old building is still standing but now sadly deserted and in poor repair. I know some of the people moved to Meadow Optical( Leadbeater and Peters ,on Meadow street.

Mikesmith   0 #4 Posted November 28, 2018 Yes,I think it closed down around 1967/68,I know  at least three of the people from there moved to Meadow optical then. Sme names I remember from Sheaf optical ...Alan Thornton,John Hobson,Mick Fay, Jimmy Kindred. I worked there 1961/65 and have many good memories of the people there. As I recall there were nine ladies who worked there...four office staff,three edgers,one lady downstairs in lenses,one dear old tea lady/cleaner,but cant remember the surnames,only first names.
