Dougie,
Why are they all wearing Chem-suits?
Also the premises Reeds Occupied, was once, I seem to remember, occupied by 'British Celanese'. Can anyone tell me when British Celanese ceased on that site?

It would have be before March 1959 when the first men went away for Training at one of Reeds other factories, it was up and running in the October of that year when I started that's as near as I can get to it

We used to wear chem suits like these, when undertaking the descent of 'Gaping Gill' Pothole near Claphan, which can be a very wet experience!
I think, elsewhere, you say that they are on holiday: were they tackling some similar task?
