A bit more of our history

This list shows what Sir John Jarvis's Bedewell Works (The Bomb Factory) had produced for WW2 by 1943.
Sir John is the Surrey Tory MP who decided to help our area after seeing the Jarrow Marchers walking 280 mls to Downing St to plead for work. What a great man he was.

Norman,
Interesting information regarding the Bofors machined parts, I am sure my dad was involved with the manufacture and assembly of Bofors guns at Reyrolles during the war.
