I took this yesterday as I am not sure if this building will be knocked down as in the first photo you will see every thing behind it has gone and houses being built in place its on Lythalls Lane.

Welcome to the forum Bob.
Sadly, most of what we knew is either going or gone. I was an aero apprentice, not much left of that industry at all now. Time moves on, changes are made, some for the better, some not. But I think it good to keep our memories alive, those that come after us will at least know what was here.
Hope we see you around and you share more of your memories.
