"Stan worked (after war service and a spell in a Far East POW camp)
at Viking
and was the man who made the top end frames - Severn
Valley. He went to Australia several times but I suspect always
came back because of his wife was homesick. He set up in Madeley,
Shropshire, in not much more than a big garage. He mainly made
frames for the trade e.g for Hugh Porter.
He had also worked for
Reg Harris,
setting up in his factory in Macclesfield and at Dawes. A very
nice man indeed and a real craftsman." John
