Thanks for that Derrickarthur.
My husband spent some time during his apprenticeship there and then to somewhere on Holbrook Lane.
More lovely memories. I am so spoilt on this Forum.

Wasn't sure where to put this one as there is no dedicated Alma Street thread, but the BTH works was formerly Dunlop.

Thanks for the pictures Derrick. I was an apprentice at the Dunlop from 1981-1988 (longer than the usual 4 years, as I went on to Coventry Poly). I remember you from a rotation in the lab , maybe 84/85. I mounted lots of cross-sections in bakelite and read all the Desmond Bagley novels. Good memories. I emigrated to the USA in 1993.
