    Thanks for sharing the day with us. Shame the factory will be lost, maybe the floor and other features of the entrance lobby might be saved.

    That last photograph with the statues of shipyard workers was taken at Port Glasgow with the Ferguson Marine shipyard in the background. Not Greenock as stated.

    That polished wood floor looked very Masonic with those circles etc!

      Yes it was, not sure it’s from when the original factory was opened though.

      Now with owner in Scotland, used to be around the Merseyside area as one time with long standing Imp club member. Being very well looked after by Joe now.

    They were unreliable because of the lazy unskilled workforce at Linwood.
