Stumbled on this - inside the Ice Factory. Our heritage slowly crumbles away.

The photo of the crusher is the one used to crush ice for boxing up to supply the merchants.  The ice dropped into trawlers was taken on the conveyors in blocks and crushed on the end of the conveyor just before it dropped. You could stand at ground level and watch the blocks passing along the conveyor.

Wasn't me it was James77 who found them. My Dads office was very close to there,I can remember going there as a small kid and standing in the office window watching the trains working on the other side of the wall that was on the other side of Fish dock rd where the road is going in the opposite direction now.And also watching the unloading of butter and bacon boats.

Is this not a Listed Building? Maybe it should be, maybe it's a bit too late!

Therein lies the problem.Some want to preserve it,some don't so it sits there rotting away.




Oh and its James77 who found and put up the photos not me.All I did was comment on them as when I was a young lad I watched all that working flat out.
