A MAN who lived near the Huddersfield factory where he worked for many years has celebrated his 90th birthday.

Great-grandfather Stanley Hepworth lived in Lockwood and worked at David Brown Gears. He married Edna at Huddersfield Register Office in 1939, just before he was called into the Army.

But his engineering skills meant he had to return to Brown's during the war years.

The couple have one daughter, two grand-daughters and four great grandchildren. They moved from Yew Green Avenue to Kendal in 1981.
