I knew an Eddie Crawford who lived in Leader Street, Pemberton went to Oz and ended up back in Winstanley. Any relation?

I worked with Eddie at Triangle Valve. We were last to go when West Works closed its doors for the last time in November 1981.

If its the same Eddie, Jarvo, he was fair haired and married to Doreen. What happened to him?

Giovanni: Yes, that was Eddie. Sadly I have heard that he has passed away. Eddie was a character and a good milling setter. Happy days in West Works.
