Hales Sawmill Owner turns 96 Years Old and Talks about his time there
- 3 months ago
At 96, the founder of a sawmill has clocked up almost 82 years of work - and has no plans to give it up anytime soon.
Bill Parton, founder of Hales Sawmill in Market Drayton, turned 96 on Wednesday.
The company was established in 1982 but Bill's working life began long before, having taken up work as a plumber's apprentice back in Easter 1942 at just 14 years old.
Almost 82 years later, he still turns up for work five days a week - having only dropped his sixth day a year ago.
