Fortress Furniture

Back in the seventies between my career as a rock star (failed) and becoming a songwriter I took a gig at the famous Newcastle department store, Fenwick. I enjoyed a stint during that autumn on the delivery truck. The deliveries were mostly to Northumberland and one day we delivered some wardrobes to Bamburgh Castle. (yes people have apartments in there) We could not get the truck through the portcullis you can see in one pic so we had to lug the wardrobes through by hand and all the way up those steps and across the ramparts to make the delivery.
