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?

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.

There use to be a loverly fish/chip shop opposite that site and a

pub, just can't remember it on Norfolk Bridge.

Most of my relatives worked there in the 70s in the W Department, used to frequent the Albion at lunch

I think the pub was "The Plumpers" but I could be wrong.

message for Tonio, some years back you posted some photo's of the Melting shop, and you mentioned Barrie Wragg had some of the Mill in its last days, I was at Spears Ind. from '70 to '78 and was recently talking to a friend who's involved with Kelham Island, as a lad I used to take visitors around the plant so knew all the departments back to front...and they want to make a record of what we did there from steel making to shipping finished saws out to the jungle...! If you have any pictures I would be very grateful and make sure everyone involved is credited.

The 'Plumpers' and the 'Albert' were the two pubs near there. Both on opposite corners of Greystock Street and Sutherland Street. 'Plumpers' was on the 'S&J' side. The chip shop was on the other side of Sutherland Street nearer to Norfolk Bridge and opposite the end of Corby Street.
