Great Video . Brings back memories of Christmas Parties for the employee kids ! My dad’s dark blue overalls reeking with acid were washed in our kitchen sink by my mum for years .( she died of Anaplastic Gastro-Esophageal Cancer age 64 . Missing out on retirement . I wonder if the acid fumes did this ?My dad worked @ Courtaulds . Redscar , Preston. Lancs. as a Spinner nights (CPT) for 16 years till closing as a Supervisor . Re-training as a tool and dye maker at Blackburn after 2,400 Courtauld’s were made redundant over night ! I wonder where Courtaulds went ? Cornwall . Ontario Canada ? or just an Art Gallery in London ? 70’s Maggie’s Globalization!

@@yadvinder555 thank you for your comment and some happier memories of parties. Unfortunately though Courtaulds health and safety record has come into question over the years. Thank you for watching.

I always thought Courtaulds at Redscar was haunted. Theres definitely a strange vibe about Redscar Industrial Estate. I remember passing through Redscar Industrial Estate in the early hours of the morning after they blew up Pope Lane Bridge. I was stuck on land at the east side of the M6 near to the woods. It’s real creepy around there at night. I can remember going to a music recording studio in 1997 with a mate which was inside the Corning room area to the north and there was a strange vibe in that building. You can drive inside the building though internal roads leading to industrial units.
