I remember these chaps very well, I was an apprentice carpenter under them - lovely chaps. Bert Lander was a true gentleman, Cyril Lester still lives in Newhaven. Cyril was an apprentice I believe, in this photograph. Happy days.

Grandpa Lander would be thrilled to know he was on the internet!

The Templeman in this photo looks like Stan Templeman, my uncle, who later worked at the Parker Pen factory.
