Ldg.Fireman. Stanley Richardson
National Fire Service
from:Gorton, Manchester
My father, Stanley Richardson, enlisted in the A.F.S. in September 1939 and was based at the London Rd, Manchester, Fire Station. He served, in the newly-named N.F.S. during the 1940 Manchester Christmas blitz and in late 1941 was sent to London for further training for the position of Divisional Catering Officer. He returned to Manchester and was the given the post of Divisional Catering Officer for the North West. I have the impression that, for this, he was based in Bolton, Lancs. At the end of the war, he was offered the position on a permanent basis, but chose to return to the family bakery business in Gorton, Manchester. I joined my father in this enterprise in 1960 and moved it to Denton in 1976. Stanley died in 1985 aged 75.
