The new canteen next door to the New laboratory I worked in built both in the early 1960s have been flattened and only one room in use on the soap side.A lot of the houses in the Village are privately owned but they cannot change them as they are listed buildings. It's very strange seeing the once bustling factory so quiet. Even Unilever Merseyside has its Laboratory outside the original factory area at the bottom of Quarry Road East.it was a carpark when I worked there. I think it all made the late Lord Leverhulme very sad.Terry Ackers.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655681444077745849.post-35798554017846403632015-12-18T13:56:32.585+00:002015-12-18T13:56:32.585+00:00A fascinating series.
