Southalls factory

[COLINSTARK]

My mom (Maureen Moore) worked there betwen 1965-66 in Quality Control. As did my nan Sue Moore.

Other staff members then included Mr Peet (supervisor), Mrs Bowker & her daughter Anita, and Sheila Bolter.

I worked for a cleaning company every Friday night. Boy was it dusty. We used ladies towels to try and keep dust away. I used to do Top Card Room and Slashers!! Around this time of 1964 I played for Brookhil F C. I think manager was a bit suspect!

Hi Colinstark, did you know my Uncle Tim Flynn he drank in the Brookhill Pub, Cork man wore a trillby and sometimes a red Carnation used to live across the road. from the pub

 

[COLINSTARK]

No, sorry--I was only 17 at the time. I think that Iwas too young to drink!
The football team was not connected to the Brookhill Pub.
Although in Birmingham most of the good players were sent to Wolverhampton for trials, except Bunny Larkin-Bert Linnecore and John Watts who went to the Blues
Best Regards, Colin Stark
