Hi all, I am tracing the ancestors of Nora Newton born in 1912 in Lincoln RD, and looking at her life too. In 1938 she married Thomas Reeson, having just stopped working at Robey's in Lincoln. She died in 1949. I am wondering if anyone has information about Nora, apart from her marriage, children or ancestors! Photographs would be wonderful. Also, any jnformation about the sort of work she did at Robey's. She was presented with a clock when she left the firm.

Sandra,  many thanks for all the information about the works on Canwick Road. As a boy, I remember seeing hundreds of workers leaving the factory at the end of the day.
