Morris Engines, Courthouse Green

Hello Surgerybods, I'm Steve, Les Beard's son. Unfortunately he's no longer with us. He talked a lot about his Morris days and yes he mentioned many times he used to collect the surgery nurse for her shift. He did the same for at least one of the cleaners.

Harold Kerry was a legend and I should know being his son of 62 years old. He took us to many a party in the 60's and 70's and when he came home from nights made me a cup of tea and some toast, and got me up for my paper round and made me the man I am today.. never really talked about work but he did well there and made some great friends.. Sadly passed away before his time in 1997, aged 66... I miss him but love seeing his name on here as a note...

Hi akerry, welcome back to the forum Sorry for your early loss but I'm happy that someone's memories have warmed your heart.

Hi, My wife`s uncle (John (Jack) Shaw), we believe, was a director in the Morris Motors engine dept. Does anyone remember him or have any comments, please?

Hi UKER, welcome to the forum I hope you get some replies.

Might be of Interest to a few. Cine Film I took in 1982. A few hours at Coventry Engines before the plant closed down soon after. There is more video after the blank screen so wait a few seconds. Morris Engines Office
