Paul Golding was my firebeater for a couple of months i I think it was 1977. He was a bit of a mystery, well bred, very intelligent, obviously not your usual factory fodder. He was a good worker and learned well. I nagged him to find something better for his talents and I think had an effect on him. I always thought that there was a bit of a story behind him but never pushed, it was nothing to do with me. I liked him and I hope he did well.....
[PS. I've tried a search on Google but you get swamped by the far right leader of Britain First....]

This is where old ferry boats go to die in the San Francisco Bay area. If I remember rightly it was near Sausalito.

I decided Terry Gissing deserved an engine of his own so I made this one for him. I made it out of my head using a cylinder I had about my person....

The large trap door under the teagle. This was used for getting tape machine cylinders down to the loading dock in the warehouse so they could be transported for whatever reason.

The fireplace in the front room at Hey farm in 1976. The result of 20 years of improvements.

A Stockport tram in about 1950 ascending Wellington Road and heading for Hazel Grove. This was my transport to school almost every day and looking at it makes me realise how old fashioned this must look today. Not surprising, it was 80 years ago......
