American Army at Cowlishaw and Walker, Biddulph

I have had an interesting 2 hours with a lady I met recently, who was born in 1929. At the age of 14 she left school and went to work for Cowlishaw and Walker, Biddulph. She started in the offices at the age of 14 years in 1944 and saw the built up to 'D' day with the arrival of the American soldiers in Biddulph. She remembers the army taking the big guns to the works to have the gun barrels degreased, because thy had been greased up for the trip across the atlantic. She also remembers having her typewriter taken away from her and soldiers spending days at Cowlishaws typing..

DO YOU HAVE ANY MEMORIES.....PLEASE LET ME KNOW
