Member Since: August 2003 Posts: 6 Send Message	I am trying to track an ancestor who may have worked for this company in the 1940s (works Manager). Any suggestions & did they have a site in Truro? Thanks Graham

	From a quick google, it seems they produced newspapers and magazines too - I only know of them in connection with books. Jay

Up until 1977/78 Odhams outings arrived in the morning, a few drinkies in the club, back aboard the coach, a few locals(me included) and off to Lingfield, Goodwood or Brighton for an afternoon at the races, back to Effingham, food laid out and back to London, normally out of their trees!! Wonderful days, long gone. Can't add anything sensible. But it was fun, Derek in France
