lennonman   11 #45 Posted December 14, 2009 If Drinkingman is around can he post the pic of my dad and some of the staff in the canteen from around 1980.

Soosie   10 #47 Posted July 21, 2010 I remember working at Moore and Wrights after I left school in 1956 when they were at Four Lane Ends at Norton. They were like nissen huts that we had for offices. I worked in the accounts office which a Mr Wright was the accountant, but we were not allowed to talk to each other but the other girl I worked with Margaret Rotherham and myself used to be always giggling with each other and we used to get into trouble for it. It would nice if Margaret got in touch after all these years: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
