"Sue_Boulton_describes_the_photo_of_Ken_Court_in_the_original_Craft_School".
This picture of the original Training School, known as the Craft Selection School, was taken prior to 1949.
Four machines can be seen. Starting from the left, a 2D Capstan Lathe, an Edgwick? Centre Lathe, a Drilling machine and finally, a Shaping machine. BUT, who are the nine apprentices. Can anyone name any of them?
The instructor was Mr Ken Court (pictured in the light suit, third from the left). You can listen to Sue Boulton’s (Ken’s daughter) memories of her father in the audio clip above the picture.
