I remember Eros very well we bought our wedding rings from them in 1970, I also remember Ivor and his wife. ( sorry I can't remember her name ) both were a lovely couple, I'm sure that Ivor use to play an instrument, it may have been a Saxophone? It was a shame when they moved away. I worked at Elliott Brothers and started there in September 1961 as a progress chaser I was 15 they were a great company to work for.

I worked at Elliot Brothers in 1962 when i was fifteen i remember we all stopped work when president kennedy was shot. If you were a minute late you were docked fifteen minutes pay, a forty hour week for £4.75 I used to wire up the boards with the electronics on for the computers.
