I REFER to correspondence from readers of the Bolton Evening News, dated November 9 and 13, this year.

This concerns a film made at The Montague Burton's factory, which was located in the Halliwell area of Bolton.

It described the different stages of Coat making, and starred the actual workers.

I can confirm that the finished production was shown to those involved, one evening after the working day, and in 1965.

While I played a part, I had made alternative arrangements, and missed the showing.

I had been approached by a supervisor named Hilda Hunter, while operating a plonking machine, with other girls.

She suggested that I remove the rollers from my hair; I found the filming lights to be very hot, which aggravated my extreme shyness.

During another period, I played a part in a Burton's Christmas pantomime, organised by Annie Brown.

We entertained audiences throughout the Bolton area, and photos of this must be in existence.

I enclose a photograph taken during a Burton's outing to Blackpool.

I enjoyed those days, as Burton's was an excellent employer.
