Forestry Commission Chapelhall works, 1980.

This picture shows the staff of the Forestry Commission’s Chapelhall Works in 1980 welcoming the then Chair, Sir David Montgomery, to view the recently completed works extension. Sir David is in the back row with the tie, with the workshop foreman, George Stewart to his left. The workshop manger Jimmy Thomson is standing at the front second from the right.
