Mather and platt , the end of the road

The end

[@manchester1972]

I worked in the offices on 10 bay from 1988 until 1993. With Lorna.. I was only 16 but loved it at mathers..The lads in the foundry amazed me how close nitt they was.. You had Russ, Crap hat the main boss Keith. It was a truly amazing place.. You could walk in 7am on a Monday. No place for an hangover from the social club. It was straight in to graft. Then a few pints in the Gibraltar before getting home.. I loved the place. Think it give myself good work ethics for my future. Think my gaffer was called Roy Cattermole.. I'm 52 now. Bet if he is alive he must be 80..He had a lady called Vanessa who worked in the office another great girl.. So helpful in my early days.. I remember my mum being dead proud when I got a job at mather and platt.. Then obviously weir pumps...

Applied for a job there in the 1960's, never showed up for the job, came to America instead. My dad worked in their foundry, not for me.
