Group of Workers at Redbrook c.1920-1925.

Redbrook workers

Middle row second left: Harold Oliver Glover Hudson, 4th left William Beach.

Harold worked at the Tinplate Works in Redbrook but I'm not convinced this photo was taken at the works. The men are not dressed with the usual aprons and none of the Tinworkers tools are visible. The photo may have been taken on a Construction site.

Fred Beach added (June 2024): "... Far right middle row I'm pretty certain is my grandfather William Beach, He was born 1885 on the Kymin, and he appears in 3 of the early 1900's Redbrook Football photo's. In 1911 the census says he worked at Redbrook Tin plate works, I couldn't read the occupation / trade, but in 1921 it says "Pickler". My dad said he remembers my gran having to hurry to the works to say my grandfather was ill, men were stood outside waiting hoping for some work. William or Billy Beach a guy Eddie from The Narth who worked with him said he was called at work.
