Default Quality Porclain Enamelling,Cannock,Staffs 2007

I sent bubblehead into this factory first.Then made my own follow up visit a few days later.The inside of this factory was like time had stood still in places.It was all to easy to think that the workers had gone home for the night as all the equipment and furniture was still in place.It was only when you noticed where the pikeys had being that the dream was shattered.The factory had made enamel coatings for things like aga ovens.
The factory had closed down in a hurry.Also for sometime after the demise of the company the firms website was still working.I think it was the sort of site you dream of finding.Sadly the site was cleared last year.

There are very evil forces at work in this place

The local builders have been very busy pulling down buildings adjacent to QPE but don't seem to have replaced them with anything yet..............the scrap car dealership just seems to grow every month. A mate of mine ran one of the few LPG filling stations about 100 yards further up the road.....I think he closed that up about 12 months ago
