Winnie Clarke, a sewing machinist in Trim Shop, Canley, retired after 40 years’ of valuable service.
Winnie started in the old trim shop when Albert Jones was Foreman and Olive Friswell was Supervisor.
She spent happy years there until the 1939 War broke out. During the war years Winnie worked on aircraft in our Coventry workshops. Afterwards, she moved to Radford for some years, and eventually returned to the Balcony Trim Shop behind Ivy Cottage, until retirement.
