Do you know anyone on this Kempton’s photo?

July 20, 2017 2 Comments

Staff of T.W. Kemptons, the knitwear factory that was situated on Dysart Road, as they gathered to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee back in 1977.
Kemptons closed in February 1990, and was one of several clothes manufacturers in Grantham at the time, which have now all gone. The site of this former factory is now the bowling alley.
