Shops in Langley Mill

I have in front of me 4 large photos of wagons made at GRTurners -workmen standing in front of them-also a photo of office staff standing outside the new office building when it became Redpath Dorman Long Ltd-also a book giving picture history and a foreword telling a little of the history-began in 1868.Don't know when this book was produced, but but the phone no of Turners is given as Langley Mill 34 ! The chairman at the time was Lt Col A.F. Holden M.C.Turners was started by Mr Turner and Mr Pender(Penders Row?)-1874 it became Vulcan Works.I think I've mentioned this before on this site-GR Turner's grave headstone is propped against a wall in Aldercar Churchyard-can hardly be seen -thought this was quite sad. Another snippet-GR Turner was born at sea!!
