Nice work! Da iawn.
Great explanation Dr Tim, hope you get a growing band of volunteers to help continue with the fantastic work you've already begun.
I drove through a new road yesterday as I was taking a diversion on route to Chester. I noticed how deserted all the surrounding area was and with new houses being built here and there. I instantly knew it was at some point a vast area of industry but didn’t know anything about the area. I’m from the Midlands but have a massive interest in industrial history. After some investigation I found where I had driven through was this steelworks area. Very fascinating and will give me plenty to read up on when I’m back at home
I worked there briefly as a labourer in 1972. Good hard work and decent pay. Still have a photo taken by the works photographer. A cold, sleety, snowy day. I was outside, on my own, opening bags of lime and mixing them with water, which was something to do with the process. This man says stand up I want a photo for the organisation. I thought nothing of it but my Dad handed me the photo a couple of weeks later. The photographer knew him and had passed it on. Nice touch, whoever that good man was!
I’m tiad worked there I think around the 70s I’m not quite sure but did you know a dyson?
@@idky2685 no. I was only there for a few weeks, prior to starting a new position in a different town. I didn’t know many. There was a Dave Brown, a John Smith and a few others. Sorry I can’t help.
@@japsley6172 it’s ok but thank you anyway
