Remember the place well. I worked there in the 1960s. I worked with Eric Cox on the panzer gearbox section before I left.

Hi Geoff
I remember Bob Foster, Freddie Briscoe, Albert Gray, The Marrow brothers, Alf Monks. nd many more. I left in approx 1970 to work at Bold Colliery and then Sutton Manor. I left Sutton Manor and moved to Portsmouth. I now work for Portsmouth City Council. I am due to retire in September. I live about 2 miles away from Southsea
