Walkers Engineering Works

A damp, overcast Autumn day made life difficult for Mitchell and Kenyon's camera, and with poor focus, too, it's hard for us to read the expressions of these workers from Walker Bros, a mining and general engineering company. On cue from the cameraman, the first group of men rush forwards as if in a race, followed at a more leisurely pace by their workmates, many carrying lunch boxes and flasks.

Some interesting reads Lolly.

Walker Bros eventually became Walmsleys (Bury) Ltd, paper making machinery.

I worked there as a draughtsman from 1968 to 1972.

Happy days.

I knew you would enjoy reading
