Jim Goodwin was foreman when I was 17 (50 odd years ago). I think he retired at 65 and then went to work for Colclough engineering which was situated in a big old house on the banks of the ship canal only 5 or 6 hundred yards on the left from Ancliffs, up towards Trafford Park.
I think he was replaced by Freddy Hallows ( ex driver) who was doing that job when I left in 1980. perhaps Sammy was foreman in between? I remember him well, especially his jaunty, ex soldiers walk and his big gapped, tombstone teeth.
Freddy Hallows used to live in Partington but I did hear he retired to Rhyl and lived in a caravan. I tried to locate and contact him in the 80’s but to no avail.
