First Job

My first job on leaving school in 1964 was at East Grafton, at the poultry packing station, known as CC Chinnery but run by Charles Eady (I believe stepson of the late Mr Chinnery.

I spent 5 happy years working there with a great crowd of people. The site of the packing station is now an upmarket housing estate, with no sign of the previous use. Sadly I went to the funeral of Charles a year or two ago.

Did you or anyone you know work for "Charley"? If so get in touch.
