A dad who is battling cancer claims it was caused by exposure to chemicals while working in the photography industry.
John Morgan, 69, worked in the synthetic chemicals department at the Kodak factory in Kirkby between 1969 and 1986. Now, following a battle with his former employer the granddad has received a five-figure payout after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
John started as an apprentice when he was just 16, before becoming responsible for assisting in the production of large batches of chemicals. He said he had always lived an active and healthy life and enjoyed playing football and cricket, seeing friends and family and travelling overseas.
