| Memories - Celia Limmage, 2007
Celia Limmage contacted us with this photograph. She tells us the occasion was Albert's retirement.
Celia worked at Caves from 1948 to 1951 and she cycled from Irthlingborough to work in the shoe room. The foreman was Albert Dickinson, the finishing room foreman was Albert Graves and the rough stuff foreman was George Agutter. The Manager was Mr Perry and Mr Capon was "the boss".

| The shoe room jobs were socking, heel socks, long socks, bottom stamping with the brand and trademarks (lots of different ones), sizing, polishing, lacing, examining and boxing up. The closing room forewoman left and then kept the wool shop near the Feathers in High Street. I also worked for a time at Seabrooks, next to Rollie Cox's cafe.
The railway kept their horses oposite the station in Station Road, where the market used to be.
