My dad, Lloyd Fox, is in this photo. He worked for Jenners for some years late 40's to 1964 when he and my mum returned to Canada. He was a wood machinest.
I used to meet my dad from work some evenings with my mum when they were based in New England Road and I remember some times during school holidays we would meet him for a picnic lunch in Hove Park at lunch time. Happy Days.

My mother, Rene (Irene) Searle worked for Jenners as a machinist making the furniture covers from around 1953 onwards. Does anyone remember her?
