dident know white star had depots in birmingham and london
you are right Colin they didn't, but i'm sure you know these were actually Atlas Express depots, the list was to impress, make sure companies understood White Star could handle goods for anywhere. I actually went to some of these depots.
The man in the brown smock is mr John Abernethy senior.Johns Father.John also worked for White Star, on the Clerical side.
this photo taken before they had a loading bay installed. Man at the rear was Arthur Pilkington owner along with his Brother Dennis.
Many happy memories working at this place. 1965/1966 I remember the boss Arthur and John who done clerical duties in the little office to the left as you walked in to the loading area. Great times.
My grandad Jimmy Green worked for White Star Carriers
