Mawdsley stories

What was it like to work at the Mawdsley factory along Uley Road? Does anyone recall the company's products and the work that went into making and testing them.

I worked at Mawdsleys in the 60's in the planning office. They made 'parts' that went in to electric motors. Their biggest customer as I recall was Lansing Bagnall who made forklift trucks. I remember putting half a crown in the ciggie machine, don't ask me why. Happy days. Went back to work in the planning office at Listers after a spell at Mawdsleys.

Thanks for the recollections. If you went to the Mawdsley site now you'd never guess there was once a factory there. The only thing left is the millpond, otherwise it's all new houses.
