Hi, My names Angie, did anyone work at George Turton Platts in the 70's? I worked with Eileen Barlow/Potts and Jack Simmons in Personnel, a little wooden shed  was the office in the yard. I was there from around 1971 to 1978. It would be nice to catch up with other's who worked there. I knew alot in both the factories and the office's. I was a friend of Jenny who worked on the switch board which I also used to work on sometimes.

My uncle Les Harrison worked here from starting as an apprentice die sinker roughly around WW2 until he got his leg crushed by a die in approximately 1980
