The rope they are standing against, was the largest they made, during the World War II he was a Sergeant in the Home Guard, he couldn't join the forces as his job, was a essential to the War Effort. He was described as a kind man, who would look out for workers. He met my grandma, while working at Ropery. At the time, she was married, her husband was later killed in Italy, my grandma often spoke about how he would turn up during an air raid and help get her to safely.
