Anyone remember my Dad William Roydes, he worked there as an Inspection Foreman in the body shop from the early 50's until he retired in 1979. I have his engraved long service gold watch from "British Leyland" as it was by the time he had done his 25 years. He wore it righ up until he died last year.
When I was about 4 we used to go to the Social Club every Saturday night in my Dads Austin A30 with no heater. I remember the Inside of the windows used to ice up in the winter !
I also remember he gave me a sixpence to have a go on the one armed bandit, and I won the jackpot, I think it was £25 in sixpences, there were so many we had to wrap them in a bar towel !!
