“
This was a chemical firm on Duke Street. The building is still there
but under a new guise as flats. My parents both worked there – they
actually met at the works Christmas dance in the 1930’s. Mum took
her cousin Barbara with her, and when she saw Dad coming to ask
for a second dance, she said to Barbara “hide me, he stepped all
over my feet” – well, I guess he managed to find her!”
“
You will find this family-run business within the Met Quarter.
Don, Toni and Darren provide beautiful displays for all occasions
and all seasons – and all delivered with a smile. There is a Chinese
proverb that says “If you have two pennies, spend one on a loaf and
one on a flower. The bread will give you life and the flower
a reason for living.”
