Children's Club "When I was about 12 years old, that is roundabout 1950-51, I joined a children's club run by this company. I have always wondered what became of the club. I'm hoping you can put my mind at rest." |

1954 Nora Graham "Does anyone remember my mum. Nora Graham? She worked in what she refers to as 'the rubber mill' in 1954. She would have been about age 21 at the time. She lived at 6 Hay Drive, Niddrie. She had three brothers: - Jimmy Graham, - George Graham - Lawrence Graham" Roberta Graham, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland |

Fire 1962 "I was working in the rubber mill at the time of the fire in 1962. I can recall that the company I was working for were using oxyacetylene cutters to cut pipework out from the ceiling of the rubber mill. At this stage, I'll say the company I was working for was NOT responsible for the fire. There were also other companies involved in doing similar work. If there are any more photos out there I'd love to view them. I had a bit of a fright when the mill went up. We all got out safe and sound and I am sure nobody was injured. I went back a few days later to see if I could salvage any of my tools but to no avail. All that was left of my ex-Army working jacket that I had taken of and left on a hook was the zip!" |
