The lad on the right is Dave Gee, he worked at Northern Counties as well, his dad was a foreman there.
So few pictues of the Valve on WW, which is surprising seein' that it employed over 900 workers in its hey day I was there 71 to 81 and have no pics, just the memories!
Billg,
Do you remember a bloke named David Walls, he worked there during that period.
