I am from the Museum in the Arndale. we have quite a nice collection of H & B stuff.

Could I politely ask what your exhibition is going to be about?

Atarah,

Its not an exhibition as such. I am trying to find out more information about the building and what it did and get more old photographs into the building. I have managed to get an old pin that was issued to the workers tonight and will be heading to the library and museum in the coming weeks.

Thanks

That's the plaque Atarah, being the last 2 people left at Platts when I finished I took the plaque home from Bradford as it belongs in Accy.

Be aware of the biography of George Bullough and the family's association with Rhum. It contains good stuff on the company. You need to be speaking with John Simpson in the library

Correction to that, he worked in the turret room, he was a machine setter. I think he was in the Home Guard there as well. Anybody got any picture's of the Home Guard?.
