DetailsDescription
A fascinating piece of vintage paper ephemera: an original application for employment form from Quinton Hazell Limited, based in Colwyn Bay, dating from the 1970s.
The form is partially typewriter-typed and unused/uncompleted, offering a rare glimpse into mid-20th-century working life—right down to the language, questions, and rigid structure of employment at the time.
I discovered this document tucked inside a second-hand novel while browsing bookshops in Llandudno in 2013, and it has been carefully kept ever since.
