I used to work in Elbief in the 80's. The factory was at the Prince of Wales lane. The department I worked in was called Clock Bay. It was a nice place, FM radio music all the day was a lovely add on to work. Mrs Busby was Personnel department head. The next door cafe had a lovely breakfast.
Hello Johnkahn, welcome to the Forum. I did a few jobs Elbief as a pipe fitting contractor. I do remember the radio being on all day, in the days of Diddy David Hamilton. One thing that really stood out for me as someone passing through, were two older boys in the polishing shop. They stood at their polishing wheels all day, apart from break times. Over the years both of them had become haunch-back, due to their working positions.
The Cafe next next door, always good food and always busy. I seem to remember loads of Gas Fitters in there, not sure if they were changing the area over to Natural Gas at the time..
