When my Dad worked there, they employed well over 2,000+. When I worked there some 20 years later, this had dwindled to under 500 or so. I now believe that of the 35 or so who moved to Eccleshall, this number has fallen below 20.Well more of factory is coming down, the latest phase in it's demolishment is visible from the Doxey Road. I guess in it's heyday it was the 2nd largest employer (private) in the town.........
We lived in Baxter Green up in Doxey when we first got married. Had a white car which was covered in a pale pink dust all the time.
Blimey ! Just realsed thst I'm going back 40yrs......I recall the maintenance shop run by John _ _ _ _ ? certainly not as gruff as he sometimes seemed......
