rob h Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I worked there from 1969 to about 1973/4 worked with Dave Loveday, Dave Shore, Phil Walker, Gordon Westran, Len Tidy, to name a few. Remember taking H120 on rolling road to see how much I could get out of it, also remember Alan Havenhand, used to do all the recovery work I used to go with him on quite a few jobs and when we had time we used to call in a pub on the Manor for pie, peas and a pint, I believe Alan died a number of years ago. Talking of pubs as well as The Prince I used to go to the Sun on Pear St at lunch, makes you wonder how we used to work in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
