Just been reading Fred’s  wer,z me mam The chapter about Dennis Hobson , In 1955 Dennis was a roof tiler in  he worked for Bill Godard ,    I think he was doing his national service around that time  He left roof tiling around 1961 ,  That is when he got involved with,lorries and scrap  ,But could read those books all day long ,

Another book worth reading is Bombs over Bramall Lane growing up in the 40's by Ken Leary, I knew him and his family.

He wrote the book for his family while he was dying from Cancer.
