Dorothy

50 years ago I worked at Metal Box in Westhoughton , I met a lovely lady at the site her name Dorothy . Just wandering if anyone knows her cannot remember her surname .Love to catcch up

Mind you don't get lost!

I know Tom Ralphs who was a leccie there.

i think i posted on the wrong page my eyes let me down.

A good style of lady lived in Aspull. could light up a room

Dorothy had a friend called the Tin man,he could have worked at Metalbox.

Ah! Metalbox, late 1960's? Was she known as 'Dot'?

Tonker , yes , possibly

she had a classy Chasiy

No, never heard of her! 😬

well I knew her well , good sort .

No, never heard of her! 😬

my aunty and uncle worked there Tom and Kathleen Kirkham lived in aspull

A very sexy lady.

My mum worked at Metal Box for many years Margaret Calland - she eventually married Wilf Wallwork who also worked there.

Dot was a real goer. We had such alot of good shagging

I thought maybe your gaydar was not working when you asked Friends of Dorothy to make themselves known.

Blackrodweaver - are you related to Berni Kirkham?

I also worked at THE BOX from 1974 to 1981 worked in spray room in the new DWI plant ,all my memories were marred by all the sheep that worked there.

Tonler sorry for late reply only just seen post.
answer to your question no relation to to me

Never mind, I got it wrong. Her name's Berni Kirkman, not Kirkham. Her dad was Kevin Kirkman,an electrician at Parsonage.

Stan Thorley worked there

IS there anyone on this site who worked at metal box in the new factory called the DWI PLANT? ALSO where are you from AUSSIE94 ?

Peebee asked, "I know Tom Ralphs who was a leccie there".

Was he known as 'Ralphser'?

Ooo don't know about that tonker, I was only about seven or eight then and he used to give me a lift home at dinner times on his crossbar from Owfen Parochial school as we lived next door to each other. That would have been approx 1957 8 ish. His old man worked at the Allenby Mill in Owfen and used to get us damaged bamboo skips at 'bommy' night.

I will give it one more attempt are there any MEATBOX D.W. I PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN THE NEW PLANT BETWEEN 1974 TO ITS CLOSE IN 1983 ISH I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU .

GB I worked on the installation of the ovens in the new plant. Had some great times ,some long lunches at the pub. Some very eager young women . Lovedit was there from 1969 to 1970

Hello Aussie 94,, Those ovens you talked about those near where i worked were just outside the sprayroom as you may know on the new 2 piece can it was sprayed twice the first one with EPOXY then out and into the oven then they came back into us again then we sprayed them withVINYL lacquer the speed of those machines were incredible to give you an idea on a typical 12 hour shift with full 4 production lines running we could belt out just short of a MILLION CANS ,COCOA COLA/LILT/ALL TOP NAMES OF THAT TIME IN LATE 70s /80s before i left they were changing 2 of the lines over from pop drinks to BEER CANS . I have to agree with you there were quite a few lovely ladies there too ! bye for now stay safe . G.B.
