Nice photo of a company I remember well in the 60s and 70s. :sunglasses:


My first solo delivery with a lift tank

I forgot about their place at Litherland Malc,used to take wet acetone in from Glaxo at Ulverston,the place was falling apart like the one at Cadishead.When was that photo taken,any idea?

This photo was taken on July 18, 2009.

Do you remember the explosion at Solvay Interox. We had a great job running Hydrogen Peroxide over to Warrington, it lasted about 8 months and we had 3 trucks double shifted from Hull or Immingham
