I do have a copy of the book thanks, but would be interested in more about your experiences of working for the business. The 60's are before the time I'm looking for for my research (after the change to Hyndburn in '74), but there are definitely things I would like to learn about life from the employees' angle.
Were you a driver? engineer? I would like to get some background on what it was like to work for the department - the attitudes to the vehicles (there were one or two unusual types I recall), to the management, to the working practices etc. I assume nothing much changed in those respects when things changed to Hyndburn?
Appreciate your reply and if there are any thoughts about your time there that you would like to share, they'd be most welcome.
