A once familiar figure at the James Bridge site was the leading Works Policeman Tom Garbett. He joined Lloyds in 1947 as a furnace man but unfortunately had a series accident that prevented him returning to the production department. Mr. M. C. Lloyd suggested that Tom should move to the Works Police and he first appeared at the old No. 1 gate in 1955. From 'The Steel Casting', courtesy of Wendy Marston.
