Hi does anyone remember by Dad Harry Taylor who is pictured kneeling down at the bottom of the picture. He was a true gentleman and was loved dearly, My Dad passed away on the 10th December 2014. He will be missed so much.

Why was Johnie Green ( must have been a millionaire )always so miserable , it just goes to prove money alone cannot make anyone happy , too miserable to have his picture took with the rest of staff .

Must have been really easy working there with nineteen staff , I worked there when they were very busy in the sixties when they employed just about eleven staff.
