Reproduced here are photos of just a few of those
with whom I worked during my time at Torridge Vale.
I'll be adding names where I can later...............
Some I do not know, either before or after my time.
Perhaps the visitor here may recognise friends and
workmates and, perhaps, be able to place a name
where I cannot.
Don't forget, you can leave your comments in the box below.
If you "follow" on any page you will be alerted when I update or add to the Blog.
Thanks.
