This picture brings back happy memories. I was an apprentice electrician at kirkless in the sixties and remember Harold well. He used to work in the panel/swithgear shop on assembly, he had a great sound he made like a cat trapped in a piece of switchgear, always a fun character. l also recall Fred last name Horrocks I beleive but I'll stand being corrected on that one. What a great place it was to work!
