This photo shows the works after they were rebuilt as a linoleum factory owned by Thomas Whitter & Co following a fire in 1944. The site is now occupied by a housing development. |

The works was owned by Thomas Whitter & Co and also produced linoleum. The rail link running to the north connected to the Chorley - Blackburn line at Heapey station. The reservoirs are still there and enjoyed by many. The old track bed is still clearly visible although now overgrown in places. The works were demolished (c1970's?) and the site is now occupied by a housing estate. |
