VACCO WORKS PARTY

Two photographs

By David Ashdown

These pictures are of works parties featuring staff from the Vacco factory. My father (Don Ashdown) is included in both of them and I feel sure there are faces that people will recognize. Can anyone put names to the faces?
Thank you David. Do you know the date of these photos or the venue? Editors

Photos taken in the 1950's? And the venue is upstairs at the Ship hotel. Hope this is useful.

As you look at the front row, 3rd lady from right  with an authoritive 'air' about her V neck dress and glasses, looks like my friend Richard Parkers nan, who used to live near Heighton and rode a bicycle until she was really old.

My Grandmother Lily Parfitt worked at the Vacco factory in the 1970's and as a child I remember going there to visit when she was working. I am trying to find photo's of the actual factory to add to my family history but having no luck so far. If anyone has any and willing to share I would most gratefull.
