They have done a good quick job in tidying up the site.

I worked there for 10 years, finishing in Dec. 2004. Sorry to see it like this. Some good lads worked there. We still keep in touch and go out for a few pints a couple of times a year. The staff have been relocated to the Georgia Pacific site at Horwich, next to the Reebok Stadium.
