My Father (Joe), and brother (Derek), both worked at Bulloughs. Dad started after 1st WW when he recovered from wounds - I remember him as foreman in the Ring Room and then the Tool Room - I remember the name Crawshaw, Dad eventually took over from him as Superintendent.
My brother was in the Drawing Office but was fired in early '40s for spending too much time running around doing things for the Home Guard. He then went to the Pioneer before departing for foreign parts - Wales being his first stopping point.
