Hi There,

My Dad worked for Alders until the mid 80's (ish), do you know of any photos in existence later on?

Thanks,
Sarah.

With regard to the staff photo, the large looking lady, second from the right is my partner's great grandmother; Mrs Annie Goacher (nee Grimshaw). As far as current members of the family can remember she was a foreman in the works and by all accounts a very hard task master.
We only found out that she worked in a paper mill this weekend! Seeing the photo was wonderful, many thanks

We would love a scanned copy of the image if that is possible for our own family records. If there is anything more you think I could help you with then please do not hesitate to contact me

Have you a date for the photo?

Many thanks again,
Norman

madabout, I have Gould family originally from Sheffield that worked at Alders, and couldn't help but notice the name attached to one of the pictures is 'grandad Thomas Gould'.  My great grandfather Harry Gould worked at Alders for many years along with his brother Thomas.  By chance did your grandad have a brother Harry?

Best regards,
Susan

There should be later staff photos on the internet. Not sure of the date of the photos I have put on. To get a copy you can right click on them & save. Yes Susan, same family. Sorry for the delay in answering.

The fist photo looks be 1920s and a presentation. Second photo looks to be late 1890s early 1900s.
