Another from the amazing archive of Mark Richardson. Cuckoo Oak from the mid-sixties. Look at the building on the left!
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.

My dad worked there until 1983. He came home with his redundancy notice June 7 1983 my 14 Birthday! The first time I saw a man cry!
