Does anyone have any relatives who worked at John Fowlers engine works in Hunslet leeds? my grandfather worked there until approx 1950. i have a couple of photos that look as if they were taken when he retired.

Hiya,   My dad, uncle and grandad worked at  Fowlers.  My dad did his engineering apprenticeship with them in the 1930s and returned there after WW2.  His dad was 'hirer and firer' at the time (presumably the Human Resources of the day).  My grandad was Harry Stephenson and my dad is Ronnie.
