W Armstrong and Sons, Prestwick

S Fix Workshop

I am told by someone who worked there at the time that the building was built by local joiner Mr Ditchburn - does anyone recall his fore name?

Ditchburn lived at No.1 Carr View, Prestwick and prior to moving into the workshop he rented Prestwick Chapel as a joiners workshop from Billy Welch, Mechanical Engineer at East Walbottle colliery.

Ditchburn moved to a farm near Chollerford.

Can anyone remember who the next occupiers of the workshop were?
