fleetwood   10 #87 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.

Wardy 363 Â Â 10 #93 Posted December 30, 2016 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. Â Cheers Paul Ward ( Technical Apprentice.! 1970) Development Dept.

stpetre   12 #96 Posted January 12, 2017 ---------- Thanks for your reply friend and yes it was Plumpers and that chip/ shop was a few doors away.  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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
