Howard, I cropped the photo too close, it's actually Fox Hill Down.

I am talking about houses you can see right in the photo,yoy can still walk down the road by turning right at the top of the hill but all the houses gone and also it was the MT yard when the army was there.

Alas Mr. Matcham, I am correct again...I try so hard to make it otherwise, but no. In both shots there is in the distance a small white building with three windows...say no more?

Yes sorry you are right I have just gone into the photo close up and see the one you are talking about and yes I can see it now,my eyes are not so good now ,but I hold my hands up I was wrong.

Easily done Vic. The text accompanying the picture only mentions that the factory could be seen, it says nothing about which building is which. As I said, a bit of a guessing game.

I went on the run from the army to see my girl before I went overseas and stayed in that tolet to the left of the photo for two nights then the MPS picked me up and gave me a left back to camp,and 7days off in the nick for doing it followed by a overseas posting.
