Nice how did you get the building plans of what each shed did? btw the colour star changing building to the far right on the side strip contains around 3 sections each with a blast wall separating them, do you know what each part of this building did?



I had the pleasure of interviewing Alan Wells (the last family director of the company) a couple of weeks ago. Although Alan is now 82, his memory is crystal clear about the factory.

I'll see if I can find out the details you mention...

Good news! The new owners of the Wells site are happy for us to take any materials we want - and as far as they are concerned, the sooner the better.

Given the fall of events, it looks likely that the Big Push will be over Easter.

I will contact all the individuals who have offered to help, but if anyone else wants to be involved, please PM me.

I will also witter on about this at length at the AGM if you are going to be there (you are aren't you?)
