Smiths Factory, Staveley

A Memory of Staveley.

My first job on leaving school was at Smiths in Staveley. Recently found a diary I kept that year and my first take home pay was £25. I pressed the insides of the seams on arms of RAF jackets on what seemed like a conveyor belt that went on forever. Really did not like the job at all, same thing day in day out it was horrendous, not a good job to start working life. Smiths is no longer there. No idea when it was demolished.
