"The factory had also it's own test track, located on the upstream part of the island under the halls"


An underground test track! Very Happy

shame its been destroyed really. Was a nice building compared to todcays tin sheds.

There would have been a lot of people that went in there at 15/16 and worked at the factory until retirement. The mills and yards here are the same and they are mostly gone now.
