Licking the lid of life in Telford
My dad used to work there,he ended up with black sand on his lungs and it killed him aged 59yrs :-((
my dad worked there, in the 50’s and early 60’s, he was an electrician…..it used to be called Allied Iron Foundries back then
My father also worked there in the 1950s as an electrician
I still work there now as a development engineer, and I can assure you all the health and safety standards have greatly improved.
Glynwed .. not Glynwedd!!
