I was born in 1949 and you say your Mom worked there in 1947/48, it's highly likely they worked together around that time. She once told me of a fire/explosion at the nearby Wilders fireworks factory but whether that was before or after she left I can't remember.Snap jmadone! My mother got married in September 1951 and nine months later I came along! She always looked back on Fillery's as the job of her dreams. She always had a sweet tooth!
My next door neighbour was a driver for Filleries and he would bring home loads of toffee misshapes...
Have a look at post #21 in the thread, Burnt_peanuts, where a photograph of him appears. Could we see your image please?Hello , I was wondering if anyone may be able to help me? I believe that Thomas Carey Fillery may have been my maternal grandfather. I have a photo if anyone is able to identify whether it is him?
Many thanks
