Glen Raffo is my cousin and my little sis Katie worked there as well. Another ex workmate of mine also worked there, Dennis ? Badloe, if I remember correctly. I seem to remember Glen telling me they kept sending Dennis up and down in the lift, he had a bit of a phobia of them:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Wheater Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I have just come across this post after visiting my dad and talking about him working at JM. My dad Tom Wheater worked in the melting shop from 1963 until it’s closure. He knows Ken Harding, Ken Rowlinson, the manager, Harold Thorpe worked weighing melts for the furnaces and Morris marples, Peter bates worked in the front office, Alf rotherburg the rolling mill foreman, Alan Kent, Someone called Marsden can’t remember first name (sorry) Would be lovely to hear from any of you.

dwileflonker Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Wasn't it on Eyre Street between Furnival Street and Charles Street backing onto Eyre Lane, in fact I know it was . Before it was Johnson Matthey & Mallory Ltd. it was Oakes Turner Ltd, and before that it was Wm Turner & Sons, probably long before the current posters., were apples in their mothers eyes.
