As one of the first members of the ocean crew I feel you need some more history on how it began.
Ocean Started life on the ground floor At Raleigh buildings. This used to be a bonded warehouse sorry can't find any pics. This building is now gone it was demolished to make way for some new expensive offices. It held many props from Coronation Street etc. This was one of the previous ventures of some of the original Directors. One of the items in their was Albert tatlocks side board which "used to weigh a ton", I was informed. Granada studios decided to do there own props management so the buisness was being wound down.
We stayed in that building for around 6 months waiting for the new offices at the Quakers place to be completed (The car park at the quakers was on top of the old graves that were never moved to a new location just sealed over).
Original members where Jon Woods, David Ward, Paul Finigan, Mike Barns, Paul Owens, Richard Kay (As the van boy+ another) There where a few free lancers that used to turn up to show their progress. The names have slipped my memory.
