I wonder if any one of these workers knew the night watchman at Trencherfield, Bob Marsh. Bob had been badly wounded when he was a machine gunner in the first world war, he lost an arm and one eye but spent I believe the rest of his working life at Trencherfield - a lovely man.

I recognised Tom straight away....lovely former resident of John St!

I know the girls face in the centre but blowed where I know her from..and the girl on her left..is that Sheila Lundy.?

My father, Eric Rothwell, second from right

Maureen the girl on the left has a remarkable look of Audrey Hepburn.

The lady first left is olive heyes middle Maureen dowd then Sheila lundy

VB..you're right,she does look very much like Audrey Hepburn..so many girls nowadays try their best to look like her..but she's done it without even trying..
Spud,thank you for those names..I thought it was Sheila Lundy and of course that is Maureen Dowd..I was a bit puzzled by her because their is a distinct likeness between her and a young woman that works in England's Chemist..next time I go in I'm going to ask if she is any relation ..she is so much like her..but of course the age difference is there.

I worked at Trench in 1965 - in the Card-room. It was a dark and dingy place as I recall, and I left after just a few months.

I worked in the winding room on what they called German frames loved every minute of it

Is Maureen Dowd related to Maria Dowd, originally from Norley Hall (Jimmy Dowd's daughter?)

My Dad worked there, Joseph Topping

Maureen is Maria's sister

Maureen is Billy and Charlotte Dowds daughter they did live on norley hall

Ok Spud, thanks

Yes John you were right, there is a likeness , she’s my mum ,Maureen Downing , I’m her eldest daughter , I’ve retired from England’s chemist , three years ago

My Mum..Olive Heyes, (Walker) died 11.6.1997. Beautiful inside and out

In this day and age. The three men, with their hands on the girls shoulders, would be up for 'sexual assault'..' Stop The World I Want To Get Off.
