I remember Whittakers in Dowry St, as I worked in the office there. I also remember Tom Barnes as we used to walk to and from work together with Eric Roscoe. The company secretary was Jim Barrett (Mrs.Barrett had the sweet shop at the corner of Broadway and Whalley Rd) works manager was Ernie Millington and two draughtsmen were David Clark ( Mrs. Clark taught me at Rhyddings school) and Maurice Brindle who sadly died suddenly in about 1967/68. I also recall a lot of the workforce names and even the clock numbers of some of them. I left Whittakers in 1970 to join the Lancashire Constabulary until my retirement in 1999.
