I worked in the transport offices from 1961 - 1968 as ticket machine mechanic.
The offices L to R on 1st floor belonged as follows (1st Transport Manager)(2nd Chief Clerk)(3rd Deputy Clerk)(4th Ticket office) (5th Cash Counting) (6th Revenew office)
News to me was that after Joe Fairhurst?

Dennis, Think I may remember you, you were quite tall, did you have a wife or girlfriend who worked at Boots? I was a Junior Accounts Clerk\Comptometer Operator in approximately 1968 in the Revenue Department. I remember Eric Fahey in Cash Office, Billy Ashton my Manager, Irene Donlon (I think that was her name, she was from St Helens. Also Doris Holmes when went on to marry little Tommy (that's what they all nicknamed him). I was the youngest in the office and worked with Barbara, Margaret and Susan.
Would be nice to know if you also remember the above and have you any idea where they are now?
Yes Kathleen I do rememger most of the people you have mentioned, Iris's name by the way was Donellen. I am afraid she died whilst having a minor stomach opperation.
Her husband Ted is also now dead I attended his service aprox 5 years ago but her daughter is still alive and living in Ashton.
Sorry Kathleen I omitted about myself, you are right I am quite tall and my wife did work in Boots chemist.
