Hello Dave
My dad, James Philip Marsh, passed away 2 Feb 2025, and I wanted to let old boys know.
He was at Goldings in the 1960s before his joinery apprenticeship with Listers.
He always spoke positively about Goldings and how it, and especially Dorothy (Dot) the visiting nurse was kind to him and other boys. Obviously for someone of my generation it all sounds a bit tough, but times change.
Sadly he died of Mesothelioma, but that does not change the fact that learning a trade gave him and us a life better than he would have had. He devoted himself to Helen his wife, his three kids and his six grandchildren. He also had a brilliant sense of humour, never taking life (or authority) too seriously. He was a good dad.
Best, Simon (his son)

I arrived as a 10 year old. Never liked it at first cos I was always getting in a slog (fights) Slang word. I soon learned though too protect myself. As a carpenter and Joiner. I soon found my way in life. Lodgings was my worst experiences. I achieved my goals though. As I final years were working for architects as a Clerk of Works. On many large construction sites in the South East.

Well the year has began and the worst of the bad weather hopefully is over. Hope you all had a great Xmas and New year.
We would all be back at Goldings from wherever we had spent our Xmas. For myself I always went home. I would catch train from Birmingham, meet up with mates in London Then make our way back to Hertford North Station, we walked up the North Road to Goldings, don’t know why but I was never picked up by Sid Whitbread in the van, went straight up top field playing football whatever the weather.
Happy days
