I
was the only man working in the carding room of Bessbrook Mill of the
1950s, he moaned.

It
was interesting, to say the least.
Since
he was the donor of this photo, Id better keep his identity a secret.
The
girls were Philly Pentony (top left), Mona McStay (top right), Rosie Treanor
and Tish McGrath (bottom right).
Sadly
Mona and Rosie are no longer with us. Rosie was the wife of Francie Grey. Tish is married to Dermot Bradley and if I may say so an attractive
lady to this day.
We
at Newry Journal would be delighted to receive similar photo contributions!
