Meeting my Wife

I first visited Ellesmere Port in 1957 when the Shell tanker I was on berthed at Stanlow. I met my future wife, Shirley (Stokes) at a dance at the old Majestic dance hall and we were married in 1958 in the Star of the Sea church. I worked at the Shell refinery, then later in the Dock Police. I ended up working at Lobitos (Burmah Oil) before emigrating to Australia in 1968. We are still happily married after 53 years!
