Telephone Cables Limited
A Memory of Dagenham.
In the 1960's I worked for Telephone Cables Limited or TCL as it was known, laying underground cables all over the UK. As one of the drivers I regularly had to go to the works to pick gear up. If my memory serves me right this view is taken looking back up Chequers Lane towards the Ford Works and that is TCL on the left with Dagenite batteries just beyond anf then an ungated railway crossing.

I remember Johnny Hamblin, my dad was Stanley Batchford, does anyone remember Stan?
Hi Linda, I also remember your Dad. Didn't suffer fools gladly, he was a fair and straightforward man. Very tall if I recall. He was very nice to me, him and Peter Godbold who were both friends I think. Your Dad had a good laugh on him as well. Al the best.
