The Old Boiler House ..

The Old Boiler House at the ICI site  ( then to become Zeneca then to become Avecia  ) at Blackley,  Manchester.

Unusual in that it was coal fired ..

Pulled down - this part of the site is now a housing development . 

The chemical works and laboratories have now long gone - all that remains is Hexagon Tower with a few offices and work shops.

Much of Britain's original manufacturing base has now disappeared and we seem to import everything from India or China ..
