Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi I didnt start at the Naafi until 1970 sorry but i dont recall the name. Lynmee She probably got married and moved on Lyn... Be nice to find out what happened to her and how her family are, I'd presume her Mum would be long gone now, but she had a Sister and Brother..

annswabey 599 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I didn't work at Elastic Yarns myself - well apart from a few weeks during school holidays occasionally! , but my Dad, Ted Hurst, worked there for many years. I wonder if you remember him? I'm in touch with an old work colleague of my Dad's - Alan Rose. Do you remember him too? As for NAAFI, my brother Michael Hurst (Mike or Mick), worked there in the 60's. Hope you remember my family! Ann Quote Link to post Share on other sites

annswabey 599 Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Alan Rose came from West Bridgford. Do you remember my Dad, Ted Hurst?

Denise Dwyer 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My mum worked for elastic yarns in the early 60s. Denise Dwyer. Are you referring to the factory that was located off of Castle Boulevard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denise Dwyer 0 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just in case anyone worked with her, my mum was Sheila Dwyer. Sadly, she passed away in August 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,510 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 My Great-Aunt, Connie Alvey, worked at Elastic Yarns for many years as Canteen Manageress. As she was born in 1900 I assume she would have retired around 1960. She was an excellent cook but my lasting memory of her is watching her beating cake mix with a fag in her mouth and two inches of ash hanging precariously off the end of it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Welcome to Nottstalgia, Denise Dwyer. I look forward to reading your posts and sharing your memories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi LizzieM, must confess I laughed out loud at your little anecdote concerning your Great-Aunt Connie who was an 'excellent cook'. I have a similar story: I recall my Grandma, Mrs Florrie Jackson (a lovely, kind lady) who at the age of 90 was waiting and watching at the kitchen window for the 'Meals On Wheels' lady to deliver her mid-day meal. She turned and looked at me and said: "there's no joy in getting older you know." I really felt the pathos of her situation: here was a lady who must have cooked with love and pride for all her family and many others for over 70 years; but the memories live on.................. Grandma's Specials: Egg and Bacon Pasties (to pack the men of the family up with ..............there were always some left over for we kids) Egg, Bacon and Tomatoes (no-one made fried tomatoes like Florrie) Rhubarb Tart (of course made with rhubarb from the garden) Beef Dinners (I can taste them even now) God Bless Florrie, memories of you bring tears to my eyes; love you forever ................................. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanRose34 0 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sorry Lyn the Lynda I remember was tall with dark curly hair. Was Mr Powdrill still there when you were and Betty in the wages with her ryvita. I worked at Elastic Yarns 1949-52 and 1955-80. I remember Eric Powdrill, Geoff Hornbuckle, Bill Pass in Registry & Bill Metcalf. I worked in Sales. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hello. I have an interest in this topic as my wife was working at Elastic Yarns on Castle Boulevard when I met her on a blind date on 27th February 1969. Her maiden name was Christina Tattersall but she was called chris but had the nick name 'Buzz'. She left that year because the late shifts got in the way of our amorous canoodling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
