My job entailed visiting various reservoirs, wells, taking water samples back to be tested in the lab. I was a regular visitor to Ryhope Pumping station, Downhill reservoir and consumers homes. I had a key to unlock reservoirs and went down the steps to collect the samples. It was eerie, Health and safety would have a fit now a days! Our chief chemist was Mr Waterton, which I thought was very apt! Happy days. I now live in Nottingham Pauline Tilley Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
