Ouzledale foundry. Clifford Turner.
Loss to Earby Baptist Church
From The Craven Herald October 28th 1966.
A man who worked at Ouzledale Foundry for very many years and indeed, grew up with the firm, Mr. Edwin Clifford Turner, aged 62, of 1, Pleasant View, Earby, died suddenly at his home in the early hours of Friday.
Conscientious in everything he did, and well respected by all who knew him, Mr. Turner was born in Sheffield, but had lived in Earby since 1906. He was a member of a very well known family, and had been associated with Mount Zion Baptist Church virtually all his life He had been in the choir for 40 years. Mr. Turner began his working career as an apprentice with the late Mr. J. Ashby when he established a foundry at Little Ouzledale.
He was working with the firm at the time of the flood in July 1932 when the plant was virtually destroyed, but remained loyal, and saw the firm later prosper and move to the present modern premises at Long Ing.
A Liberal, Mr. Turner was a supporter of Earby Cricket Club and very fond of gardening, and particularly of roses. He is survived by a wife, son and two daughters.
A service in Mount Zion Baptist Church, Earby, on Tuesday, was followed by cremation at Skipton, the Rev. P. Wightman officiating.
