Ken, I was an apprentice at Taylor Bros in the late fifties and am thrilled to see such a clear reminder of the exciting atmosphere of "Manchester Steelworks." Thank you for your photo sequence. Really appreciated.

Great times. A lot of tough, but very kind men I worked with as an apprentice in the engineering shop. I remember Dave Ferguson, a real railway buff. Pete Jones, John mcenzie, Paul Wardle, John Caldwell. I think Bill Yates was our foreman, 200 fags a shift and Alan Parker was the chief engineer.

Wasn’t too much different when I worked there in the 80’s under British steel and ABB.
