I can remember as a child the shift change buzzers and all the men marching down Westbury street with their boots and bait bags. It was the norm and I thought it happened everywhere, I kinda miss them sights and sounds.
Although I have lived in New Zealand for 30 years I find it interesting to see those pictures of the steel worker knowing I will be related to some of those faces.
I am from Middlesbrough and now live in Whanganui. My grandfather worked for Dorman Long and probably worked on the steel for the Dublin Street bridge here in Whanganui.
Hello Lorna do you have a copy of my Thornaby Lives book - it has a section on Erimus ? I have researched some of the families there and am still looking for photographs and info
When I watch films such as these I become so angry at how our country was ruined by a bunch of self-serving Conservative buffoons who ruined so many decent people´s lives.

Absolutely first class company and the coverage of this company is excellent, the history of the company is first class.
A good video.
My 1st year apprenticeship was at the Training Centre - almost 100 of us from all over Teesside - an awesome experience

I lived at The Erimus in Thornaby. I live in Thames, New Zealand now. Those days are a happy memory. So different now.
