Bill is my father in law. 88 this year retired at 65. He still runs the Pensioners meeting but now they meet at whelley Labour Club. 2nd or 3rd Thursday each month.
My dad Norman Taylor was a driver out of Springs Branch in the late 1940s/early 50s and died when I was 5, 1953. Anybody know of him? We lived in a railway cottage in Pemberton.Lots of memories and war info.
