Tom Brown
Dyehouse
12th November 2008
Hello Charlie,
         I am sorry I took so long to send you these photographs. One as you will see is taken in the dyehouse with myself taking to Princess Anne on her last visit to the Berkshire (sorry I can't remember the date) and looking on was the managing director, John Monteith.
         The other photograph is of my wife Agnes (who sadly passed away nearly eight years ago) you would probably have known her as Agnes Pearce. She came from Donaghadee and lived on the Killaughey Road. Her father was a policeman. She worked at Newtownards in the Quality control department she also worked at the Dundonald factory as a form examiner.
                              Regards,
                                               Tom Brown.
Thanks for the photos Tom.     Yes I remember Agnes and very much regret her passing.
Nice to see you getting a chuckle from Princess Anne. What did you tell her? Thanks again, Charlie
