My dad was a designer/engraver at Celanese, Jamesicus. He had worked at Steiners until 1935, when he moved to Spondon. He too went to work at Rolls Royce when the war started (conscripted as a reserved occupation) as an aero-engine inspector but got a move back to Lancashire in 1941 and worked at Bristol Aircraft for the rest of the war. If it hadn't been for Hitler, I'd probably be a "Derbyshire thick neck" instead of a Lancastrian.
