First post on here so go easy but CC welcome
Been meaning to pop in here since seeing a post last year (thanks for the heads up) and I manage a steel stockholder & fabricators myself so it struck a particular chord!

I didnt research any history before going & as I walked around presumed that the company had folded as there is an alarming amount of paperwork left behind with personal phone numbers on & company accounts / invoices etc. It was only later I realised that they have relocated & are still going strong.
I know how difficult relocating a company like this is as we have recently done the same but someone needs a kick up the backside for some of the sensitive material left behind.

Anyway not much history available other than it was founded in 1949 & relocated in 2015 (which ties in nicely with all the calendars still open on July 15)
There is a lot of small junk left and a few small machines but all the big stuff has gone leaving cavernous pits around the place. It still made a relaxed explore with my lad for a few hours though.

Shame most things have been trashed including the stained glass in the reception building

Welcome on board Glyn. Bit mad they couldn't be bothered to take all that paperwork with them if they just relocated. Wouldn't take much effort really
