Anyone who knew my Dad, Ron Timmins AKA "Cowboy". I regret to say that he sadly passed away on 28th August.
Excuse me for asking but are you related to Harry or Gerry Ensor.
Yes I remember your dad from my days at Aldridge Depot, didn't know him well because he was on the bottles and me the drays we didn't seem to mix much. Nice man something to do with country and western I think, The Silver Saddle comes to mind. Sorry to hear your news.Anyone who knew my Dad, Ron Timmins AKA "Cowboy".

Jimmy Jones was originally on the Transport and them moved to the Security (gateman) staff working for John Powers. He eventually became the "Sergeant" of the Security Dept. and was in charge of burning old returned beer tickets in the Boiler Room, allegedly many of which did not reach the flames as he and his compatriot Les Ward were very "clumsy". Both died years ago.Was he over the transport Ken?. Pete remembers Albert but not Jimmy.

Hi Sally was Jackie later Jackie Kindom?.
Yes it is Ansells Brewery, it is not in the 70s but much earlier. If you ever walked up Park road you would recognise this as the very old brewery gates, the newer entrance gate was much the same. The drays used to enter from coming down the hill and queing up until a space was available on the unloading deck. I have a modern photo of the entrance somewhere, I will post it and you will see the drays queing up.Regards Steve.Aston Brewery from a 1972 booklet about Ansells brewing history. Was this at Aston Cross ? Doesn’t have the look of that location. Viv,
Yorkie was a mate of my dads. I met him a couple of times.Hi, you don't mean Yorkie do you.
Bloody hell. I remember Tiny. He was a mate of my dads as was yorkie.Does any one recall a guy known as "Tiny" and of course he was big and tall worked at Ansells in the 70's for sure, he rode a motorcycle and wore a long tan coat his job was BEER TASTER !!.
Then would come out at night and sink a few, this was a big man so a few beers was just that, he maintained he really did not drink that much at work,
That's great I often wonder what happened to some of the guys I knew.Bloody hell. I remember Tiny. He was a mate of my dads as was yorkie.
