The guy I worked under coud do anything grafting plants budding roses etc etc
Liverpool Corporation was only 2nd to Edinburgh back then as the best parks department in the UK my guy fetched Huyto& Knowles pars up to that level - we won the best in show at Southport no other winner was on that trophy other than Liverpool corporation.....nice photo ;)
 

My first proper job after leaving school was in this factory Wells Kelo ltd, used to make the garden swings and swing/seesaw sets among other garden toys, was later to become Hedstrom. It was knocked down late 90’s and is now a housing estate
