Have you ever worked with asbestos? Did you work for Turner Brothers? Did any of your relatives work for the company? Do you remember worrying about dangers associated with the dust you were exposed to? Were you told about possible risks? Did you talk to friends or family about risks for your health related to your work?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions I would love to hear from you! I am a student at the University of Manchester and I am working on a history project about the dangers of asbestos and how informed employees were.

Please include the dates within which you or your relative worked with asbestos, and send your story, however big or small, to:

or

Thank you. Your story is much appreciated.
