Number 4, Lilian (Beatie) Flack. Just as I remember her. If she sees this, I hope you are well Lilian.

My first job was in the Chemistry Lab at Reyrolles and one job was for the apprentice to test the varnish tank in the Transformer Room - It was quite an ordeal for a young lad having to walk the whole length of the transformer room!!

Thanks Susan,
Please tell your lovely mam that everyone has been asking after 'Lilian' and she really is missed by us.
As you know,your mam was my 'Quay expert' aswell.
She even told me about my Dunn grandparents who lived across the back lane when she was young living in William St & the Dunn's lived in Lyon St with a shared backlane.

Norman, What can I say, I remember Lilian as number 4, on the photo, but of course her daughter Susan would know.

Hi Sheila,
you are reading it wrong.
Susan is saying the number before the name ie 4 is Lilian, 5 Irene Bell 1 Hilda etc
