Changes in Technology...

Peter moved job after a couple of years and went to work in Essex, for a company known as John H Burrows. Peter was interviewed by one of the deputies and then eventually by the owner. He felt that he had "hit the big time" as he was being offered £4 a week at the age of 18- he promptly took to it like a shot. Technology had moved on quite considerably by this time (c.1951) as a modern printing press had been installed. Peter felt that during the short time he had been working in the newspaper industry he had moved from Caxton's time all the way to modern times in one leap.
