Chester Memories: Brookhurst Association Pensioners and Employees reunion

By Chester Chronicle on Apr 24, 09 12:57 PM in 1900-1999

FOLLOWING The Chronicle's publication of a mystery photograph of the Brookhurst Pensioners and Employees Association, former engineering draughtsman Alan Jeffreys has contacted us with news of a get-together next week.

Alan, of Waverton, worked at Brookhurst in Newton from 1940 - 1968 when the works closed down. He joined the pensioners' association 18 years ago.

"We are having our annual social get-together on Monday night at the Bear's Paw in Dickson's Drive from 7.30pm onwards. Anyone who used to work at Brookhurst is welcome," he said.

The Brookhurst Pensioners Association meets on the first Wednesday of every month at Bishop Lloyd's Palace in Watergate Street at 10.30am.

"It's an opportunity to catch up with old workmates, most of who will now be retired," added Alan.
