I served my time at Bulloughs as a fitter 1945-1952. My department was Ring Frames on the top floor. Cashy is right. We used to clock in with a numbered metal disc.One of my best friends was Frank Fielding who worked in the personnel Office. He played cricket for Enfield.I won a prize as the best apprentice in 1951. The prize was a month at the Outward Bound Mountain School in Cumberland.Bulloughs had their own school for the apprentices. I think it was up Willows Lane but my memory is not good these days. I remember going to Night School 4 nights a week 6 to 9. Some of the lessons were in the old Grammar School.I left Bulloughs when I finished my apprenticeship in 1952 and had to go and do my National Service.
