My First Appointment In Gainsborough.
A Memory of Gainsborough.
I started my career in public health as Additional Sanitary Inspector in Gainsborough in 1947 at the magnificent salary of £390 per annum with a cycle allowance of £12. John Carter was the Chief and, apart from a Clerk,and the Medical Officer, the only other employee was a retired butcher who not only was the rat catcher,- but was required to carry out meat inspection at the slaughterhouse !! I did not last long despite meeting my wife there. I moved to Grimsby in 1949 and we were married in Gainsborough in 1951. We later moved here to Suffolk and celebrate our 65th wedding anniversary in June.
