tonio Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Whats the place like now as opposed to the old factory? The Saville St site is a Ford motor car sales. I went in last year and tried to work out the old plan of the site. Where and when did you work there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleetwood Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My Dad worked there in late 30's 40's and 50's and I suppose into the 60's, he worked in the warehouse shipping the circular saws around the world and that's where he met my Mom at Spears.
