Lang Bridges checks were the same size, at Langs you had 4 checks.
No 1 was for the morning clock in
No 2 was for the afternoon
No 3 was handed in when you clocked off from overtime.
No 4 you handed over when you recieved your pay.

Bulloughs only used 3 checks.

Re: Howard & Bullough

So I take it the top number was the shift, and the bottom number was the employee reference? Any idea what the little sword stamp was?

I don't have any images of lang bridge checks yet; just have h&b and some stanhill ring spinning co. ones. I'll keep an eye out and share with the group as and when.

No 3 was employee 1550's overtime check.
Haven't clue what the sword is for, never saw that on my checks when I moved to Bulloughs in 1952.

Re: Howard & Bullough

I didnt work at Howard & Bullough because I left school and went down the pit. Huncoat. My Dad worked there from 1954 till about 1970 ish I remember when we were kids and my dads mate got burnt to death at work. Cant think of his name. Also remember when my dad had half of his hand chopped off about 1959. This was one of the reasons he gave me for going down the pit as H&B was a dangerous place to work in. We lived in Crown street at the time.

Forgot to mention my dads name. David Stevenson. Also my grandad Arthur Stevenson and grandma Leena Stevenson also worked there for a while. I also think one of my relations was an outfitter for the company. in the 40s. He used to travel all over the world with them. Spent some time in Russia, I think.

Re: Howard & Bullough

Maybe Mog's family were the reason why Stevenson St was named. My dad worked in the Charter St & 'Stevie' works. Seriously, I don't know why Stevenson St was so called. Or Charter St.

Re: Howard & Bullough

My husband Colin Wood worked in the fluted roller over both Stevenson St and the Globe works he knew Mick Pettifer and remembers his father. He also knew Jim Procter and states that the apprentice School was over Stevenson Street when he went in the late fifties. The trainers were the late Arthur Lee assisted by the late Les Hindle. He also worked in the Heavy m/c shop. His foreman was Lou Abbot and Keith Irwin with Alan Pearson (used to call him big Al) his superintendant.

Re: Howard & Bullough

Hello everyone.

I am currently getting together the history of The Globe Works to be displayed in The Globe Centre and around the building. If anyone could help me out with any information or anything they have or know it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
