Contributor's note: "My late father Wilfred Malcolm (Mac) Stretch (b. 8.12.1910) finished his apprenticeship with the Crystal Mirror & Glass Company and left to join the P & T in 1948. I can still remember the overpowering smell of ammonia when I went to see Dad - but he was so used to it, he couldn't smell it. The building was much later occupied by Continental Caterers."
