Rumour had it that he had connections with Sutherlands. Thats going back to 1965. I recall meeting the Turner family in 1980, They apparently owned Sutherlands then. Anybody have info?

DonEvans Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I'm pretty sure that Sutherlands built a new factory between Swallownest and Wales Bar in the 1960's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonEvans Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I was only in my teens at the time and now in my 70's but i recall that the factory stood alone in what was otherwise fields. I see now looking at Google Earth that a number of other units have sprung up around it since. I haven't been back in the area for about 30 years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
