Salesman Cliff a sole survivor

A SHOE salesman who worked for the same factory for nearly 50 years returned to his home town to take a nostalgic look at an exhibition about the company's history.

Former John White worker Cliff Timpson, who now lives in Lichfield, Staffordshire, visited Rushden Museum, Northamptonshire, UK,  yesterday to see displays about the history of the company and to share his memories of selling its shoes around the country.

Mr Timpson, 86, worked for the company from 1937 until he retired in 1986, apart from a spell he spent in the RAF during the Second World War.
