Did you work at Plessey?
We have nine reminders of factory scenes, sports day reminders, fundraising and the day an important visitor did a tour.
Perhaps you are pictured or you can spot someone you know. We would love to hear from anyone with memories of working at the factory.
Take a look through our photo collection and then get in touch to tell us more.
