My grandad, Clement Trill, is 4th from right bottom row . This was an engineering firm but I don't know what they were testing. Does anyone know?

My father Herbert Maurice Martin also worked at Allen West - an electrical firm. He also ran in their sports team. I have photos of colleagues of his. I think he may have left just before the above photo.

My grandad, Albert Jeater, worked for Allen West - they made electrical switch gear for all sorts of things. I once saw an Allen West piece of machinery on a wall in the Speights Brewery in Dunedin, New Zealand!

My wife´s grandad worked at Allen West. His name was Bob Roberts and lived in Southampton St, Brighton. He was the toolfitter and started there in 1954. When I was going out with my wife in 1970, he was always repairing something or down his allotment by the race course growing vegetables.

My late father in law Eddie worked at Allen West for 38 years until his retirement in 1986. I came across switch gear at a tea plantation in Cameron Highlands Malaysia.
