Italian descendants

[maniago]

I would like to add my fathers name to the list of terrazoworkers at Hodkin and Jones. He was Enrico Del.Mistro. A lot of thhe names listed are familiar to me. Dad retired in 1965. He spent all his working life at Hodkin and Jones. I also knew a lot of the icecream makers and used to go with my father to visit them on Sundays.

I knew the Del Mistro family very well. They lived on East Road as did I. Very friendly family. Lost touch when we all got married. Allthough for many years we walked down East Bank Road with Mrs DelMistro after Mass on a Sunday.
