In 1978 I complained to Leigh Cross that the fireplace I had just installed had no control. I couldn’t turn down the heat or control the temperature. Leigh said “no problem, I’ll make you a pair of doors”. After waiting a while I became impatient and started sending him reminders.
Away back in the 80’s I was involved with Dave Gerow, Elizabeth
Smith, and Mary MacKenzie in the production of ‘The Ebb and Flow’; the Hornby History book. Not all of the photos I copied made it into the book but some of them are quite delightful.
