Started an apprenticeship there around 1952, and left with many happy memories. Can I ask you Keith, are you related to a Frank Fox, who was a charge hand in the electrical section in those early years?

Hi,Harry, Frank Fox is no Relation.

During the 1960's about 30% of my wedding photography work came from the employees at A.T.& E., I was also fortunate to get quite a fair amount of corporate worm them too. My studio was just diagonally across Ormskirk Road from there on the corner of Argyle Street.
