Rowan, 3 generations of my family worked there but sadly they're all gone now. My cousin, Brian Preece, would have remembered him as he was a great supporter of the Sports and Social Club.
Did I post this in the wrong section? I find it amazing that it doesn't appear to have sparked any interest!
Yes nothing much had changed really.. still easily recogniseable. You were there the same time as me... 1969 - 1985
Your profile pic looks sort of familiar... were you on the Fitting? I was in the Patternshop, my Brother was on the View.
Yeah.. I remember George. Even though I was in the Patternshop I was over talking with Alex much of the time.. I think by the 80's he was on the View by the Boring M/C's. He has loads of M/C Tool pic's I'll see if I can scan them and send them to you.... you may be on some!
