GKN social club is still going in Thimblemill Road and he would have worked in the screws and fasteners division in Heath Street Smethwick?
wow, I used to go to the social club as a kid, I remember it well, I won a landing net in the raffle one saturday night, and they had a three piece band, guy on drums, one on double bass, and the other a piano as i remember, I still have the fishing trophy donated by my grandad to the social club/fishing club, will attach a photo. he was based at thimbelmill lane as I remember, the company was previously called LH Newtons before the GKN buyout, I can remember dad sneaking me down to the factory floor as a nipper, when all the machinary stood silent, like big sleeping oily giants, and the smell of engineering, suds oil etc,
