I was very interested to read your posting.

My mother and Aunt worked at Collaros. I didn't realise there was a book, can you purchase it locally?

My Dad worked at Collaro's he was a setter on the auto lathes,his boss was a Londoner,Ernie Paffey.I remember dad taking me down to the canteen and loads of ladies making a fuss (very nice but I was only 4 at the time)and they used to give me very big shortcake biscuits with chocolate on one side,still one of my favourites.Dad also made us some hot water bottles from shell cases.
