Harry Burns retirement as issuer in the stores at Parkside. He died 2 years later. Does anyone recognise the others in the pic?

Apart from Geoff, John and Frank, I remember a few faces but can't put names to them.

hello my father used to work at parkside his name was Andrew Kieron Morris. and so did my grandfather Harry morris, sadly both have passed away my father only in Novemeber of 2011. he worked with kieth horsefield who we still see from time to time. I visited parkside as a small girl about 4 or 5 years of age and i remember sitting in the winding chair (dark green if i remember rightly) with a huge yellow drum opposite! just wondering if anyone remembers them ? i walked for hours over the former parkside site today and its a shame to look at :(
