I worked there when Bob Gleason was there and Len Hurst and Barry Cavanaugh. I wonder who's still around? I found this place using AI.

Vic Grundy, Tom Ward ( his daughter Davina I think), Ken Ackerman, Roger Grier, Tom Ledley, Bob Gaskins and his son Bob, Josie and Paul Whitmore, Pauline Defay (control office), Doreen (canteen), Nancy done the repacking, John Day, Irene Green (checker), Roy Fellows (dock). Sadly here are some great people no longer with us, Graham George, Roger Horsley, Barry Hill, Stan Williams, Sid the cleaner (used to hide all empty beer cans in the small toilet by the inwards), Fred Mobbs, sadly collapsed and died in the warehouse I used to go fishing with Len Booth (the general) and Steve Walker, still see Geoff have a drink and bingo every Friday.
Steve Walker and I bought a house together down Harnall Lane East. Before that I stayed for a couple of Months with Doreen and her husband John. I was Shop Steward for a short time. Was in the Darts team with Roger Grier and Zip Nolan. Great times.

I know that Laxon's wholesale grocers was at 10 Bishop Street in at least 1921. Also retail grocers 115 Freeman Street and 6 Hertford Street. In 1937 they had no retail grocery shops and the wholesale business was in Chapel Street.

Hello! My paternal grandmother Beryl McCann (nee Daglish dob 1949) was an employee at Laxons for some years. I do not know which years or what department. Does anyone remember her? She had two children, husband Gerry (a driving instructor) and lived in Tile Hill in the 80s. She passed in 2007 when I was 11 years old and there is so much I wish I could ask her now. Grateful for any and all memories/information. Many thanks
