I know George Roper died in Sandbach, Jim but when I saw him (briefly) he was in a pub, which I undertand was his, in a village called Goostrey. Another famous name from this little town is Blaster Bates. Staying with the military/BAOR thread, Foden and ERF trucks were, until recently made in Sandbach. |

What was the relationship between Foden & ERF ? Were they family related or what ? Sure we had some Fodens in BAOR when I was there. |

I see John McMillan has allready answered your question Jim. Strictly speaking, Foden's was in Elworth, a separate village in those days. The Foden family are buried in Elworth churchyard. The site of the Foden works is now a care home for the elderly (I've got my bed booked !), and the ERF site is now a health centre/supermarket/Mc Donald's. |
