From the factory to the social club, it has had a long association with Wearside and we are paying tribute to it with these archive photos.

So whether you were working on the machines in 1963 or office working in 1970, we have memories for you.

Pictured with the first computer to be installed by Hepworth and Grandage in 1970 were technical engineer Mr D W Hobson (right) and works director Mr S G Waller.
