I worked for several Lucas sites over nearly 30 years with stints at other companies too, Shaftmoor Lane, York Road, College Road, Mere Green and the technical centre in dog kennel lane too from where I left in July 2015. Some good times and lots good people

Sorry that s wrong, Joseph lived at a large house in Trafalgar Road, it was Harry Lucas I think lived there and was named after Oliver AbdUllah in St Anne's Road. I went there a lot working for Lucas Industries in training courses, garden was lovely and I remember a pulpit inside where servants...

I worked at Times Furnishings opposite the bull ring from 1972 to 73, short-lived when I was only 18/19, trainees in sales, I used to buy records and listen to them instead of working, I remember a salesman called Mr Dixey, was good fun and no regrets even though I was fired.

Small world yes Dr Doris and Dr Paul Quinet. Their daughter was married to Victor Aldous who owned a jewellery shop in Stratford. Last I heard the family sold up and moved to Looe in Cornwall but I was divorced from Dr Quinet grand daughter in 1982.

yes that right, it was Dr Paul Quinet who first lived there with his wife and daughter who became my mother in law. Quinet family both died in approx 1980 when the house was sold. It was very old fashioned inside with a lovely garden from what I remember back then.

do you by chance remember Jeffery Dry, he would have been about 30 in 1955, my dad, he worked at Cannings in Publicity but I'm sketchy on the actual dates. He left about 1962 to work in Wolverhampton.

Hello Lyn, my dad worked at Cannings Great Hampton Street but I'm unsure of dates possibly 1955 to 1962 I think as we lived in Hall Green back around then when I was 6. Dad was working in Publicity and knew Sir Ernest Canning, as dad was responsible for the catalogues. Anything from those far...

Actually must have been earlier when dad worked at Cannings, probably more like 1955 than 1960, dad was born in 1925 so my dates are out.

My dad Jeffery Dry worked at Cannings on Great Hampton Street from 1960 to 62, he knew Sir Ernest Canning and worked as Publicity Manager responsible for the catalogues and meeting customers, so Dad was about 35 then when we were living in Hall Green.

my dad worked for Sir Ernest Canning as Publicity Manager, it was his 2nd job after leaving university and we lived in Studland Road, Hall Green, it was 1962 so I guess you were there same time as m my dad.
