  I stumbled across this great video by chance. Thank you so much to whoever was responsible for collating and videoing all those apprentice school photos, great work! I was there between 1978 - 1982, and I cannot remember the group photo being taken, so I was shocked to see myself there in the 1978 group photo. :-D It brought back some great memories, and faces that I have not seen in many years, thank you. Would it be possible to get a HD scan of the photo by any chance? Many thanks in advance.

  I used to have a clear view of these chimneys from my bedroom window as a kid, used to love the sight of them. I was only 5 years old when this was filmed. Sadly they are no longer there and the plot they were on is now being turned in to a modern incinerator which looks horrendous.

  Fascinating video. I was once told while the development of R134a was a success, the intial underwhelming sales due to illegal cfc recycling was part of the reasons why ICI collapsed. I tried to look up more modern sources recently but they all seem to point to the failed acquisitions as to why, and Kennedy's wonderful book was written just before everything unfolded. Is there anyone more familiar with the company would like to shed some light on this?

  They built the chimneys up from the inside outwards. Worked their overhauling all the FD and ID fans coupersplit bearing and scraped the white metal bearing in on some of the larger rotating machines in. They used to have oil drums with fires in on the intakes in the early 1990s.

  Sad to hear this chimney is no longer standing, hard to imagine the work that must have been undertaken to maintain the thousands of chimneys we once had in our nation and the output we had as a nation as a result of the works that the chimneys were for. We owe our forebears so much, I wish we could renew that old national spirit we once had. I feel like in the last decades we have squandered and wasted what was given to us, our nation betrayed by its political leaders.
