My dad,Bill Armstrong,was Testing and Training Officer in the Training school in 1962, and was Technical Manager from 1964 to 1967 when he was made redundant.
He was born in Schofield Lane Hardybutts.

Hi Eric, just out of curiosity was Jean by any chance, a relative of Mary Derbyshire, who lived in Birkett Street, until her untimely passing in the early 1950's?

Ray Armstrong did you live in Kingwood Crescent? My father Colin Clapham worked at Eckersleys and I think we knew your family.
