Are Carless Chemicals still going at Longport? They used to be known as Carless,Capel and Leonard,main plant was at Harwich.
I think these photos were taken at Longport,the plant was near the railway and Shelton steelworks IIRC.I haven’t been in there since mid-70s.A mate of mine took these in later years.
The set up is still their but its been Repsol for a few years now Chris.
