Memories of Lancashire Dynamo Nevelin c1955, Holland
Superb Picture of The Old Factory
I started work at LDN in 1956 in the accounts dept. working with Hugh "Mac" Andrews, Laurence Forbes Ritte, Janet Kenward, Mike Chandler - I can't remember what he did!
I joined the army in 1958 (National Service) and returned to LDN in 1960. I recall Barbara Harling on the switchboard, Joyce Bellingham in accounts? Mr & Mrs Fair who lived near the Diamond, also "Ricky" Ricmond! Jack Thomas (Manager of Holland Rovers FC), his wife's name I can't remember. Returned to LDN in in 1960, worked in the wages dept./Shipping Dept. Names I remember from that time - Frank Clatworthy, Fred Street, Peter Young (Company Secretary). Following the transfer of LDN to Foster Transformers at Wimbledon in 1965 I then moved to International Rectifier next door. Alas the old factory (LDN) is no more. Following an arson attack last year the building has been demolished. If anybody reads this maybe we could have an LDN reunion?
Ajax Factory
My dad worked here for a while I think, about 1966 ish. The one thing I remember as a little girl was the fantastic Christmas parties which were held for the children of the workers. They will live in my memory forever.
Holland & local memories
Read and share memories of Holland and Surrey inspired by Frith photos.
Pocket Money
I was born in Holland, Surrey in 1961. I have a lot of memories of the post office, especially the vast array of sweets, which we spent some of our pocket money on. It was a lovely shop, our magazines were picked up here every Saturday - Dandy, Beano and Topper, of course none of us kiddies were allowed to read them until my dad had finished with them. There was no hedge there, as I remember.
Hurst Green Halt
I purchased a ticket from John Peerless at the Hurst Green Halt ticket office in February 1958 on my way to do national service. On the same train was Dave Newman also starting his National Service. February 1960 we both returned on the same train from London!! to Hurst Green Halt.
