Agha was very popular with the permanent staff he worked with and in fact everyone he came into contact with. Unfortunately we had no work for him in his field but we did have print finishing work and he was with us for many years doing that. I stayed in contact with him once a year. A lovely man and an inspiration to all he came into contact with.

The last few photos are especially interesting. Since pretty much all of this craft is gone now it would be good to have a record of what it was like from a personal perspective, and there is so little that has been recorded. He seems to have started work just as letterpress was being replaced by off-set printing, and his experiences of shop floor life at that time would be interesting to read.
