ccamm   10 #85 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) My granddad worked Tinsley wire john deark udall most of his working life. Where he met his wife Patricia ellis. He is 90 in a couple of weeks and as been asking what happens to the place. If anyone has got any good information or sites they know of please let me know. I think he would even enjoy information about the early days as his memory is not as it used to be. Any help ,,would be grateful so I could put something together for him. Thank you Edited June 11, 2014 by ccamm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
