A sorry sight indeed. I worked there in the mid 60s.

I have mentioned this previously. It puzzles me regarding all those that were employed in the cotton mills, the coal mines, the steel industry, heavy engineering, etc. What employment have those people been absorbed into?. All cannot have taken up employment in the vehicle engineering industry, nor the aerospace industry.

My husband Ian Jones worked there in the 70s and also his dad Les. Anyone remember them?
