My wife's dad, Eugene Huntingdon, worked there up to the 80s. Names of people we can remember he mentioned; Eric Stead, Ken in the pattern shop, a black man called John and Pennington in the office. Eric jumped into the river Don while on fire one day, Eugene dressed his wounds as he refused to go to hospital, Eric was quite a character.

I worked at Oxleys  69 to 73 & knew Gene quite well. He was a  lovely fella & I really got on with him.I seem to recall my mate telling me about Eric after I had left. Knew all the people you mentioned and have some great memories of working there.
