Cincinnati, Kingsbury Road.

I recall visiting the “B I F,” at Castle Bromwich, late 1950’s or early 1960’s on the Cincinnati stand was a model of the building. It was being machined out of a solid block of steel by young men possibly apprentices. Did they ever finish it? What ever happened to it. Mystery.
Can anyone throw light on this?

I remember your Aunt I lived in Park Lane Minworth before I married and also worked at Cincinnati in early 60*s

She also lived on Park Lane. Her daughter, Betty now Townsend also still lives in Park Lane.

A few pictures from Long Service Awards (first one is Jun1953)

Thank you so much for these. My Grandad (Daniel P Duffy - or Danny as he was better known) is pictured on several of them and we still have his inscribed 25 years service watch he was presented with in 1963 and proudly wore every day until his sad passing 20 years later.

I’ve shared these with his daughter (my mum) and it has brought great joy.

It doesn't look like there are any recent posts on here, but I wonder if anyone remembers me as an apprentice at Cincinnati from 1976 - 1980? (I then did an extra year of college to get my Full Tech Cert.) John Larkman and Terry Toon were in charge of us in the Apprentice School for the first year, with Dennis Rawlings helping to teach us. Jim Langley was the Training boss. I was the goalkeeper for the Cincinnati football team.
I worked in the service department for a year, but left Cincinnati in 1982 to join Central Television and I've stayed working in audio for film and television ever since. I gained a Ph.D. in 2017 and moved to Australia in 2021.
