I used to work in the office at the Burndept factory down on River Drive back in 1960/62. I can remember a Maureen Shell but not an Iris Shell. Any relation?

My mother was a supervisor at both Burndept factories(Known as No 1 and No 2) from 1945 to her retirement in 1974. I left school to work there in 1953 as a technical draughtsman (apprenticeship) I worked at the Burndept in Station Rd first the n to River drive. I retuned to work at River Drive in 1968 until 1972 in the maintenance department. I vaguely recall your mothers name. I have hundreds of 'Burndept' photographs, she may be on one of them.
