These industries needed their workers, so came the tradesmen, craftsmen, carpenters, bricklayers, metal workers, fitters,turners, and boilermakers, along with the labourers and their families.These people in turn needed the basics of life, food, shelter and clothing. They demanded education, religion, meeting places, transport, medical services, shops, watering holes, entertainment and law and order.The history of Granville is about its lifeblood, the people and their memories, their work,their home life, their good and bad times, their happy and sad times."
