Grouts Textile Company
Photo of engineers
By Nigel Williams
Hello, here is an old photo of engineers at Grouts Textile Factory. My grandfather was the chief fitter and his name was Billy (William) Butt. The picture I believe was on his retirement day. Some names on rear of the photo are R.Hunt. F. Moore. M.Groom. N.A.C ? Reg ? F. James. G. Kennedy. R.Carter. F.Weldon. R.Quincy. Charles Jary was my grandfather's apprentice.These names were written on by my late Mother as she remembered some of the men by name , as she had also worked at Grouts making parachutes for the second world war. I am hoping to add some more pictures at a later stage. Best regards Nigel Williams
