got loads from Stone Managanese Marine Propellers (Foundry) early 80's and Kelvinators ( Candy Domestic Appliances )86 to about 2000 including picket line shots of when we were on strike. Will have to scan them and put them on in the next couple of weeks.
wow, what a good idea! has anyone got any old work pics of the old General hospital in Birkenhead or St Cath's from the early 70's? I would love to see if I could recognise any old friends.

Would like to see the Stone Manganese photos , I was a moulder there from 1980 to 1985 .
I've asked this before on here-----but does anyone remember Sam Scotts Millinary? it was in Lord St Birkenhead, it was in the 60s,it was my first job at 16.
and what about Berwicks Wallasey, Stylewear Rock Ferry, Jacksons Grove Rd Rock Ferry, Wesley Press New Ferry, Austin Packaging, Perry Blouses-they took over Sam Scotts Millinery, Wetheralls Colquit St Liverpool------they're all gone now-----i worked in all those places----well that was when you could finish one job on the friday and start another the following monday, if anyone has any pics of any of these places i would love to see them.
Berwicks Toys. I went for an interview for an office job there, but didn't get it. Ended up in sales up the road at The Gandy!.
Was on the building of the new front on the Gandy offices. Very small bricks and they looked really good. Still do I think. Also built an electricity sub station inside. How the hell anyone could work in there was beyond me. Stank plus all that asbestos must have caused real problems for people in later life.

The one on Birkenhead Road, Wallasey? I remember that place, all the boys in school used to scavenge the reject toys and bring them into school, mainly missile throwing toys too if I remember right.
