William R Retford (b 1899-d 1960)
William Richard Retford.
Son of William Charles Retford, joined hills in 1919, known as "Young Bill" in the workshop. He was a very good all rounder but like Arthur Copley had little joy for the work, withstanding this his contribution to the workshop was "incalculable". He lost his hearing towards the end of his life and was tragically knocked down by a car yards from the Hills workshop.
His bows for Hill are stamped with two dots.
