At that time they were making railway carriages. DekMy father died recently and I have just discovered that he worked for Metro Weyman before the mid sixties. What did Weyman make?
Thanks for your replies and the picture. Still not sure whether it was buses or railway carriages though, as unfortunately I don't know the dates he worked there. I think it would be between the mid fifties to mid sixties.
But Elmdon rings a bell, so possibly it was there. I seem to remember he had some sort of connection with that area and mentioning it.
I have memories of working at Metro-Cammell Saltley. I started my apprentiship as a wood machinist in 1951 anyone else have memories of this great place. I'll sort some photo's out and post them. Wonderful site. Albert Wayne
My father was also a wood machinist at the Met during the fifties, one of his best friends was Dennis Whale who worked in the print shop, he was in the railway part not the buses, he was a member of the social for many years after leaving there and going to work at Jaguar, he also played bowls for the met, his name was arthur Hopkins
Any of you remember Frank Tregenza who worked at Metro-cammell?
