Post by: debbplum on Wednesday 01 February 06 12:03 GMT (UK)
Hi All,
I'm interested in some background info on the above and also seeing if there were books kept of employees and where kept. I had a great/great uncle work there and died therethough not work related. I live down south so unable to access local records for that area. Thank you
Debbie
