I do know there is still a lot to see and photograph. I have some pics from the 90's when it was a running working plant. I will try and dig them out when I get chance. Will make a good comparison with the pics you took.

So you know Brian personally then? :mrgreen:

Just a bit of info regarding the above I mentioned. Allthough i left in 1998, I still have 6 monthly urine and blood checks paid for by Hicksons. They are bound by Law to give this screening to ex emplyees for life.
