At that time Gilbraith owned the garage as well as Accrington garages, The Greyhound, and the one opposite where we kept the lorries and the one across from the Cemetery, I think it is now a bit of a shopping place and the one where the new chemist is being built on Blackburn road next to the Acorn medical place.

They employed a lot of people and there was nearly always a job going.

I only worked there one summer then moved to Asda. Tony was balding he had the monks cut, bald dome with the circle of hair round it as far as I recall. What's he doing now?

I lost track of him years ago so I have no idea.
He did take over a main car dealer on the road into Manchester higher up than Strangeways, on the left after the Rialto traffic lights.

In the 60s, students usually worked for the Post Office delivering mail at Christmas and went to Joseph Arnold's (now Express Gifts) in the summer packing cards.
