Remember my mum saying that my gran worked at Howard and Bulloughs during the war; knew they did 'things' there during World War ll, but my gran would have been too old for this .. must have been World War l. Would I be correct ? Not much talked about what women did during this war.

Know my mum (although a weaver), was taken off to deliver milk for Whitewell Dairies .. told stories to me of how the milk float slid down Dill Hall Lane in the snow and ice.

Anybody have any other memories of their mums/grandmothers doing this special work during the wars ?
