Fuzzle Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Which one is she on the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRic Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 She's not in the photo, but would have gone to loads of the Christmas parties before her retirement so someone may have a photo. Unfortunately, think my Nan was born in her 40s as that is the earliest photo I've seen of her ((( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanrobbo Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I don't remember a Dot Dickinson at Moore & Wright, but I do remember a Dot Dickinson who worked further up Handsworth Road at Qualcut. She got her hair stuck in a machine I believe. She lived a couple of doors away from me at Woodhouse. Sorry been away for Christmas-- Re Dot, can't be the same one, mine definately worked at M & W and lived at Handsworth. She often mentioned an Albert Fagin as one of her workmates.

lennonman Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It might interest anyone who worked at Moore and Wrights that i visited the Science Museum in London last week and on display in the 'Britain through the ages' section was a Moore and Wrights Micrometer and original box. Got a swell of pride when i saw it! My dad could have made that! Shows that the company made an impact on the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Fuzzle, saw your reply earlier in this thread, my dad was Bert Winnell and he was there through the sixties till he retired in the mid eighties.
