A Gold Bulletin back from 1979....featuring my father Eric Stonehouse as a Gold Beater.  The Stonehouse family have been beating gold leaf since 1936, with Eric my Father being the first family member to work at his uncles firm – Smiths the Goldbeaters of Bridge Street, Manchester, both before and after the Second World War. He later worked for Cecil Whileys in Livingston, Scotland, as their Works Manager before returning to Cheshire to form the company C.F.Stonehouse & Sons.
