Hi,
Can anyone give me any information regarding the works fire brigade. I am interested in Frederick Green who was awarded the Fire Brigades Long Service Silver Medal in 1952

Some of Colman's (carrow work etc) records were transferred to the Norwich library in the forum, there also maybe records at unilver. I'm not sure how old this link is but they pointed me in the right direction when I emailed them a few years ago.
