think i've mentioned before in other posts , but seem to remember that during the 50s/60s Blythes seemed to employ a 'high' number of Polish workers , quite a few lived in Great Harwood at a hostel 'Allsprings Lodge' and as kids they allways scared us because they had a "yellow' jaundiced look about them, in later years (60s) some of them had 'local relationships' then after the fall of comunism these old guys were reunited with their wives from before the War (WW2) these 'old' Polish women arrived to re-unite with their husbands , one couple lived next door to my parents , great people , but my mum had problems with the fact that 'old' woman sprinkled poppy seeds on all the foods she cooked , my Mum was convinced they were drug addicts
