Hi Geoff,
The man in the middle looks like Alan Ashcroft who went on to the management side of Clayton steam generators.
They were indeed happy times.
Mark - Dod your dad ever work at Triangle valve?
Gayner, yes he did work at Triangle Valve, not sure exactly when off hand but must of been in the 70's.
Gayner, were you my Dads tracer & is your surname Lambert ??
Yes Mark - I was a trainee draughtsman at the Valve then went on to Dewrance at Skelmersdale then to Triangle Controls at Burscough. I left in '72 and joined the Civil Service. I was also brought up in old Goose Green same as your Mum,
