People
I worked as an apprentice
electrician for Miller & Stables from 1958 until 1961,
and remember:
-
Mr McKay.
He was Manager.
-
Alex Stables,
the boss. He was Consul for the Dominican Republic. We
had a plaque outside our office.
(I've
had a look on Google Earth for our old old building, but it all
seems to be residential now.)
