JOWETT EMPLOYEES REUNION 9th August 2014

#1 Post by Grumpy Northener » Thu Aug 07, 2014 8:05 am

For those about in the Yorkshire area this coming Saturday - a virtually unique event on the classic car calendar 'Jowett Employees Reunion' - The Jowett Car Club is in contact with all former employees from the factory that was based at Idle in Bradford, every year we host an event to bring them together along with 50+ Jowett cars of various models and listen to the stories that they have tell from the production line - thing to consider is that with the factory closing in 1954 all of the former employees are now well into their 80's & 90's. Jowett were a major employer in the Bradford area - none the less there only around 30 former employees surviving.

The event is held at 'The Bradford Industrial Museum' Moorside Mills, Moorside Road, Eccleshill, Bradford, West Yorkshire, BD2 3HP
