Nine smiling faces, and I have only seen three of them on the streets of Norwich in recent years. Where are they now - still hanging around the Atrium waiting for Brian to buy another reel of film for his Brownie 1. August 2. 01. 7 - From Paul Nunnerley. Reg, I! As you can imagine the pictures of St Stephens foundry don! The two photos at the bottom show one of the plate casting machines called a Pony autoplate and could turn out 1 plate a minute. The gentleman with presentation front page plate is Eddie Hunter one of Alf Spearing.
The two photos of myself were taken as part of a series depicting the various stages of production of Hansard during the night, and although it says midnight on the caption, it was in fact 3. The other two photos pics were taken on the last night of production. The staff around me clockwise are Devshi Patel (ex manor Farm), Roy Oldfield, Malcolm Sharp (ex Harrow), Paul Arnold and Gary Anstead. One of the things that stuck in my mind was on the occasion of receiving a prize in the apprentice award scheme, when a senior manager in Works Division, on congratulating on my success remarked that he didn.

However his words proved to have some meaning, when 1. Happy Days, Paul Nunnerley.
Hello Paul. What excellent pictures. I have also had notes from Gordon Parfitt, Steve Linehan and Dave Burchell - they all remember you of course, and were pleased to have their minds taken back to better days. Your comment regarding apprenticeships rings a bell. My late father was born in 1. Upholstery in the 1. It wasn't until later in life that he realised that the last couple of years were added on so that they could continue to pay him at 'learner's rates.'All the best, and thanks again.
Reg. 1. 7 August 2. From Paul Nunnerley. Dear Reg, My name is Paul Nunnerley and I had been surfing the net, and like Peter Stoessel, came across the . Peter's article about his father Paul dated 2. May 2. 01. 6 immediately drew my attention.
I first met Paul in 1. I transferred from St Stephens Parliamentary Press to Hansard Press to work in the print/platemaking department. He helped train some of the machine minders who did not have any experience in running the rotary presses and I remember him donning a white boiler suit (much to the amusement of the minders) so that he could give a hands on assistance to the m/c room staff. He was popular with the staff and joined us on one of the day trips to France, becoming a little inebriated on the way back. When he left in 1. I believe he went to Dorset to run a pub there.
The photo of the printing plate shown was made by myself (my name appears at the bottom right). It became quite a custom for retirees to receive a replica printing plate of the front page on the occasion of their retirement. This lasted for 5 years 2 months when I finally qualified as a journeyman stereotyper. I remained at Harrow until 1. Gateshead Press was starting up and there was a possibility of a transfer there.
Not wanting to move far from my roots I opted to transfer to St Stephens Parliamentary Press on nights still in the foundry, where I stayed until 1. I reluctantly chose redundancy when Hansard Press closed, although after working for 2. I hope you will have found this interesting, I might have some pictures to send if I can find them. Regards, Paul Nunnerley. Hello Paul, How good to hear from you.
I see from my 1. 99. Staff List, when you were Printing and Graphics Officer in Hansard Press, that you were born in the same year as I was, and joined HMSO in September 1.
I joined October 1. Your email will bring back more memories of days past. Always good to hear that mementos such as the Lords and Commons Hansards are still being kept, and any photos you may have will be very favourably received. I was in London recently and went into the foyers of two buildings I worked in: Cornwall House and Atlantic House. Both heavily modernised - in fact, Atlantic was rebuilt - but the memories are still around the areas. Best wishes, Reg.
John Eveson adds: Hello Paul, I remember you from the Presses - I was in Tech Services at the time. The main point is - I was a stereotyper too. My apprenticeship was at Nickeloids in Union Street. My heart jumped a beat mate when I read your email. There's still two of us keeping the memories alive. Best wishes, John Eveson. Once again at 'The Eagle' - Wed 3.
August 2. 01. 7It is over a year since we (sort of) organised an informal lunch at The Eagle, Newmarket Road, Norwich, so in response to an In- tray full of requests for a repeat performance (well, one postcard from a Mrs Trellis) we will bow to the wishes of the electorate (sounds familiar?) and meet again at lunchtime on Wednesday 3. August 2. 01. 7. I hope you can make it. Among 'special guests' we expect Brian Blackmore (ex Bristol, Supplies Division, and Manchester) to make the journey up from Devon via his son in Cambridge. Reg Walker. Editor, HMSOldies. July 2. 01. 7 - From Gerard Tinney.
Hello Reg, I just came across your website via your posting on the Belfast History Project - Old Belfast Photographs page on Facebook, about HMSO in Belfast. What a lovely site for workmates to share memories with former colleagues, and the rest of us who are interested, too.
I'm a serving civil servant, and it's all so familiar - in a good way, of course. All the best with the site into the future, Gerard. Hello Gerard, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful note, which I have copied to the originators of the 'HMSOldies' site - an enterprise started 1. Government privatised HMSO. Many ex- staff are here in the Norwich area, but even more are around London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle and of course Belfast.
Personally, Belfast holds special significance, as my late father was born there in 1. Your kind words are much appreciated, and we will keep going for as long as we can. I am always pleased to see such Facebook sites as Old Belfast Photographs, as they prompt instant memories. Best wishes, Reg.

Jeff is the Keeper of Public Records and CEO of the National Archives. I must say from my time at the National Archives (when he occupied a more lowly position) I always got on well with him and he was invited to my retirement do in London. Regards, Alan'Hello Alan, Thank you for the 'hot news' which I have passed to HMSO Old Boys so that they can get to the shops early tomorrow to purchase an appropriate card.
Vellum, of course. All the best. Reg. Wind River (2017) Movie Dvd Quality.
June 2. 01. 7 - From Les Birch. Dear Reg, Much saddened and shocked by the news of Derek's . He seemed so timeless and though it is many years since we last met I still feel that I will miss him.
A lovely character. Glad to say all well at this end - just recovering from the latest Normandy pilgrimage. He very kindly presented me with a 1. Calvados which his grandfather had made, a gift to which his mother consented willingly.
I am off to Lannion at the end of the month, just after my 9. Then Omaha Beach GC in October for the DDay Pro. AM and yet another year vanishes all too quickly. Best wishes as always, Les. Hello Les, As ever, excellent to hear that your social life is putting mine deservedly into the shade! And, of course, to hear your appraisal of Derek.
Another year rushing past, as you say. Alan Cole and I often reminisce about the good times - especially the occasional night in Bristol in the 1. All the very best, and take care out there. Reg. 2. 8 June 2.
From Stuart Mc. Laren. Hi Reg, The vicar of St Augustine's, the Reverend Father David Austin, has been delving into the parish archives and found a few interesting items referring to the parish's previously unsuspected close associations with HMSO. One mentions that the incumbent of St Augustine's was appointed chaplain to HMSO. Not sure yet who or when but presumably post- 1. Also, most intriguingly, that St Augustine's Church Hall was designated a bomb shelter for HMSO staff.
