I started my apprenticeship at James Booth Aluminium in 1968 who made a lot of the aluminium alloys for Concord.
The feeling of pride within the factory ( about 2000 employees) was very high, I remember it well.

Oddly, the plant is still operating in Kitts Green Birmingham, remarkable!

What a machine it was.
