Tom, You seem to post a lot of Springs Branch photo's and i was wondering if you knew my dad Tony Price. He workrd at the branch all his life and i'm trying to find some photo's of him at work.

Tom, Yes he was a fitter and also went out with the crane. Maybe some of his old workmates will read this and have some. Thanks anyway Tom

Do you remember Henry ( Harry ) Heaton, he worked there from about 1968, from Patricroft when it closed.
