Jones Balers
Looking back from this photo is the site of the original Jones Balers factory. I have many fond memories of my early working life with a wonderful bunch of collegues at the factory. I often visited Herbie Ellis' shop which later was to be in one of the houses in this pond photo, also the Red Lion pub nearby.

Then in 1949 I had to return to Tiber Street School for my leaving. I am now 71 but will never forget my time spent at Loggerheads. The local people were always very kind to us.

I met my first husband Frank Hansom from Holywell at the dances. We married in 1955 and went to live in Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1957. I had a wonderful life out there with servants and a nanny. I learnt to swim and drive. I had three children and ...read more here
