J W Parkinson and Son (Shipley) Limited

The Keith Allen Photo Journal

Ken Allen lived at Heaton and worked at Parkinsons from the late 20s until about 1960 when he retired. He was a very keen photographer and took some splendid photos whilst working at the old company and I have posted some on here for your interest and enjoyment.

Many thanks indeed to Ken’s son,  Kenneth Duncan Allen in Australia, for his permission to post these on the site.
