Oh for the days of "hot metal" when owner Harry Crossley,editor Frank Kitchener and foreman Les Stott would return from their pint in the Blockade Hotel inspect the last page"pull" and declare ,"that's another one put to bed".Then they would b~~~~~ off back to the Blockade leaving us to print the paper,this took anything between 4 and 8 hours depending on which way the mop flopped!
