Alf and Grant Williams


Alf and his son Grant Williams visit to look over the printery. They are visiting from Papakura with their vintage cars. Both cars are on display in the Feilding Square.
Alf spent most of his working life as a printer for Coulls Sommerville and Wilkie. He had a number of interesting tales to tell. including the fact that some people were selling vintage car weetbix cards and he had actually printed those many years ago in Christchurch!
