WE'VE gone all metallic for the latest batch of pictures from the Worcester News archives, as we take a look back at some faces from the past at CarnaudMetalbox and Metal Castings.
Do you recognise anyone in any of the pictures? Or did you work at either of the firms? We'd love to hear what you remember about working there, or even see any pictures you have to share of your time.
You can send your pictures to our community content editor at barry.kinghorn@newsquest.co.uk
