MY DAD, Royston Clarke, worked at Lion Salt Works all his life.

He was a foreman there working on the pan.

Henry Thompson was at the helm when I worked there for a couple of years in the packing department.

It was a small workforce but very hard work and very hot.

We lived in Rudheath and my dad would bike there every day, work a long day and pedal home.
