That is SO SO SO SO sad. Not just another one, the last glowing embers of the magnificent industrial and commercial past in which Hayes was home to or hosted so many world famous names.

Oh what a surprise that it will be more housing in an already overpopulated area. :roll:

I worked there 1959 to 1966 and most of my family worked there since before the war.
It was practically home from home.
Sad to see it go.

We've got a pic at home of mum sitting outside the Nestles canteen when she was 18 (she's 83 now!) I shall have to pop it on here.
