I served my time at devoge.left in 1966.
From early '64 till around Easter 1965 I worked at an engineering place called Devoge & co the actual building was an old converted church it was just off the main rd I think its most definetely gone now does anyone remember the name of this church or does anyone have a photo? They made jacquard machines used in textiles, I was moved from Wadsworth and co manor road Droylsden to this place and I used to cycle everyday from my home down the new rd past Johnsons wire works, and Philips park to get to Oldham road,....and I hated it but it was work. I used to work in the joiners shop with a guy called Harold and another guy called Paddy who had a limp leg he used to look after me. Did any one out there work at this place or even remembers me ? I was a moody little so an so, but I was 17 and didnt have any guys there my age so I didnt speak much, course I was very shy...ah.
