The main activity of Pilkingtons Ravenhead factory was the production of tv tubes for Thorn. This was for black and white screens. When colour came along Thorn opened their own tube factory at Skelmersdale. Eventually this led to Pilkingtons closing the factory. It is now occupied by Knauf insulation, although the front of the factory has been cut back to create space for the car park.
