Graham , nice to see a photograph of your Dad . He was a true gentleman kind and considerate.

Where was Gaffneys ?

I think Their office & maybe workshop was on the right hand side at the top of Ivy Brow, Also think it was an old pub called The Ivy.

Gentleman in center of photo with glasses John Barton.

Dave, John Barton is the only one I remember from the time my dad worked there. How do you know him?

John Barton was my dad, I remember him talking about Tommy Parkinson, your dad.In fact I have a vague memory that he and his wife came to our house in Up Holland for tea once.
David Ashcroft is my brother in law

Kathryn, thanks for your comments. I have a memory of your dad being a real gentleman. I know my dad was really proud to work alongside him and to know him as a friend.
