Postie when did Wolseley move to Drews Lane? I went for a job interview there in the 1960s and around here its still called the Wolseley although it is LDV now.
Pittaways comes to mind. MaxThe BAA was for many years the largest angling club in the country so there's got to be a few of us here who went maggot dangling as kids. Anyone remember fishing in Salford Park or the canal? Trips to Ward End and Pype Hayes parks were a regular treat but of course, there was never any point in fishing in the 'Terrible Tame'. I used to get my tackle and bait from a shop in the Lichfield Road, just up from the Domestic. I cant remember the name but I always remember the pike skull they had in the front of the window. Anyone know the name of the show?
hi.me dad and brother used to go to tewskbury at around 5 am.to break the ice.after the pike.
Hello SuBee. My dad used to work at benton & stones in the 60's. Not sure what his job was though. All I can remember was, when he came home, he wore white overalls. Me & my two brother went there for a christmas party. My dad's name was Arthur.Fishing Trips
Dennis Bonner, worked at Benton and Stone, 1946-49 and again 1952-54. It sat on Aston Brook Street-through-Bracebridge Street. I have a brillient photo of the chaps from Benton and Stone, outside the factory, preparing for one of their fishing trips..........bus and all (Millers, the headlamp factory can be seen in the background).........stories to go with it......although some not printable!
Did anyone work there? Or go on the fishing trips? Dennis particularly recalls Harry and Jimmy Underhill, who lived on Parliment Street, and worked in Maintainance at the time.I will get the photo to the site asap.
