Worked there Feb 1979 - May 1991, started in "Wheel Machine Shop", moved on to "Wheel Press/Axle Box Press" (Did some 10 hour night shifts in the "Wheel Forge" when there wasn't much work on the presses), then did 5 years in "Test Machine Shop" before taking voluntary redundancy in May 1991. Worked with some great guys, there were certainly some real characters worked there then.

Brilliant Video! I did my apprenticeship as a Metallurgist at Turners in 1981-1983 in the Quality control department and remeber the plant as it was shown in the Video. I do remember the ingots being snapped by a machine rather than being cut on a saw.

Good video...I guess the trains don't run through the estate now, used to be a beautiful park 'owned' by the De Trafford. Deer hunting etc..I go past now and have to slow down past the sewage works because of low flying Swallows.
