My phone popped up this article written by a familiar name: electrifyingwomen.org/a-model-engineer-cherry-hill/ Neil Thanks for the heads-up Neil. In the days of the 'Model Engineer Exhibition' of old, the first port of call was to the Competition Models to see the latest Cherry Hinds (later Hill) offering. Always magnificent, her models were generally to a scale smaller than the blokes and always looked as if a fairy had used her wand to make the original prototype shrink to fit the glass case! Last saw her at Brooklands, is there any news of her current welfare?

Laura Annie Willson, (nee Buckley) was the wife of George Henry Willson, founder and owner of the Willson Lathe Company of Ovenden, Halifax, which survived through WW2 and was eventually subsumed with others into the 600 Group. Laura was also a leading light in the Womens Social & Political Union along with Emmeline Pankhurst. The records of the early WES meetings etc are held in the library of the IET Edited By KWIL on 03/03/2020 17:11:30 |
