I remember the Secretery being pregnant at that time, someone called Prendergast or something like that rings a bell somewhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakes Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Spear and Jackson Prospect Rd. Bryan Bush was a person I knew, who I believe worked at Spear and Jackson. Bryan was an avid Labour and Trade Union man, and I knew him from the Trades and Labour Club on Duke Street. He last lived on Lambert Court or Castle Court[?] flats. I think he's dead now, and has been for some years. Anybody remember Bryan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
