Taken in November 1982.
Interestingly, I was in the process of collecting a fork lift truck, which had been hired out to what, allegedly, turned out to be a gang of bogus contractors, who had used the machine to steal the stone copings from the building.

In the 1800s it was called Wilde's Mill and there was a row of cottages off Foundry Lane called Wilde's Cottages which were rented to the workers and my ancestors from Ireland lived there.
