Asbestos Fire Suits Percy Main John F Fife

When I was a young girl I was shown newspaper cuttings of my father John F Fife modelling an asbestos fire suit he had designed and made in his factory work shop at Percy Main. My older brother aged 84, who lives in Australia, remembers being taken to the factory as a boy in the thirties, he thinks possibly 1938 or a little earlier. The Fife family had a boiler cleaning business and lived in Linskill Terrace. Unfortunately I no longer have these cuttings and whenever I try to find out about asbestos fire suits at Percy Main, I come up against a brick wall. Elizabeth Johnson, Fife
