More about this scene
Still the biggest single employer in Chapel, Ferodo was founded by local man Herbert Froode (of which 'Ferodo' is an anagram) who first developed a brake block for horse-drawn carts and later successfully developed it for cars, lorries and buses. In this 1960s photograph, Ferodo's Research Laboratories had just been opened.

A Selection of Memories from Chapel-en-le-Frith
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Chapel-en-le-Frith
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I lived here in the 80's it was a bed and breakfast accommodation for people on benefits and as a single mum who had moved up from Sussex it was the most quiet and delightful. Mr Richard Andrew's was the owner and he was forever running around fixing and building walls to make it so pleasent to live there. My oldest son was almost born in the room on the right on the ground floor, I have many fond memories of living in Bankhall and have always wanted to move back.
Hi, I have fond memories of bank hall. Mr Brennan, hard but fair. Ian Sullivan (ginge), Derek matthews, les weir. Anyone want a catchup I'm on facebook, or contact me paulgartland@outlook.com
Hi, been talking to a few old faces, would anyone be interested in meeting up in Liverpool, maybe the cavern on Matthew street? If you do, ask anyone you know who went to bank hall if they would be interested. Was thinking maybe end February or early March.
Wow, what a surprise to see this place on here! Hi lads, it's brought some memories back and (sorry about the spelling - should've listened to the staff ha,ha). Hope you are all doing well and in good health. I really miss that place. I've seen a few of you over the years; some I remember, others I don't. Does anybody have any photos? Look not a big writer so with that to all I remember and I don't..good ...see more
Well, I hope all lads from Bank Hall meet up one day to have a chat about good times and bad times. If any staff would like to meet it would be good to tell some of them some home truths; but a few of them were really good. My last thing I wrote someone did not like what I had to say cos it was took off this site, and that his wrong cos what I put was the truth.
