| Liverpool Corporation tram line to Roby. Closed by 1957.
(The M62 now seems to run where the trams once did!) |

| This became the site of Joseph Lucas Gas Tubine Equipment- Victor Works-in the late 1940s, later known as Lucas Aerospace until it moved to Wilson Road in Huyton in the 1980s.
The boiler house chimney remained, and still had "COCOA" letters in the brickwork until the site was re-developed for housing in the 1990s.
Part of the Lucas machine shop concrete floor subsided after heavy automatic machinery was installed.
On investigation, hundreds of large sacks of cocoa were found below the foundations, causing the subsidance.
I was an apprentice there from 1958 to 1963,then a Planning Engineer until I left in 1978. |
