How do I contact Dave to further explore this story?
I knew a Gordon Duffy, lived in Hury Road, Norton in the mid 1950s. Wonder if this is him.
It just seems like yesterday since we had this photo taken. We had good days and hard times in Parkfield foundry but it employed many people. And trained a lot of young people as tradesmen, which is all gone now. I was talking to Joe Ritchie and he said Gordon Duffy had passed away last year. Nice to hear from you Maurice.
Gordon Duffy of Hury Road was my great uncle, I think this was possibly him.
