Memory Lane Story Men at Mann Egerton

I did not see the picture but Mann Egertons on Prince of Wales Rd was my first job at age 15 . I remember the office so well high up and I did typing and mail etc. My father also worked there Mr.John Randall and did runs to Scotland with the car carrier plus other things. We lived in Bunwell at the time. He would bring us things back from Scotland like Hankies and rock etc still have a lot of the gifts today. I cannot remember how long I worked there though. I had a man in Canada write to me also who worked there. Trying to find out about the place and what happened to it. I have pictures of my Dad when he worked there. Would love to here from people from back then would be about 1954.

Re: Memory Lane Story Men at Mann Egerton

Hi Patricia

I'm writing from Sydney, Australia. I came across your posting via Google whilst looking into some old Norwich history Sites. My Dad used to work at Mann Egertons on Prince of Wales road. . To be honest I don't know exactly when but i think it was during the late 50's. His name was Derek Miller but was known as Dusty. He died in 1983 but would often talk about it.

I too contacted the man in Canada a few years back but he couldn't remember him so i may be out with the dates.

I have been back to Norwich a few times in the past 10 years and there is still a petrol station there but i think the rest of the buildings have either been torn down or are now apartment blocks. Things are very different in Norwich to what I remember when i was younger.

Regards

David
