My second job was in the Lace Market, late 60s early 70s You went for a job, you told them what you could do, waited, then you would know if the job was yours, if you didn't like it you went for another job
"My sister Sue and I "
We worked at Minsons Stoney Street
3, Broadway was the address.
Twenty of us in the building
We would Machine, Scollop, or Press
We Folded, Trimmed, and Examined
The Flock would fall down like snow
Frilling and Edging looked easy
It wasn't easy when I had a go
Packing and Sealing, when Net was done
How many Yards, faults, two joins allowed in some
A Factory full of memories, here's some on my list
Of the days I was a Folder, and our Sue a Machinist
When 5 o/clock came we'd run and clock out,
Hurrying to Market Square to get our 40 bus
The wonderful thing about going home
Was Mum and her cooking were waiting for us .
Ged Jones ...Doreen Honeycomb....Dot Bartram....Winnie Thacker....Dolly Bull ...Linda Hodgson. ...Marrie Colton...Jim Oneil, Philip Minson
They are a few of the people we worked with !!
