You will see acknowledgement of his contribution on the website. There is very little material written about the Lewisham site so good to see a few comments hereChris Bartlettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710611656756005747.post-54363472668250863602020-04-18T08:26:30.535+01:002020-04-18T08:26:30.535+01:00I was also at Elliott Brothers 1966-1974, one poin...I was also at Elliott Brothers 1966-1974, one point that is never mentioned is that M.Thatcher when PM stated that Great Britain does not need Engineering, she said let somebody else do that. Germany and others did not adopt that stupid short sited attitude. Hence that is why we (GB) are in the mess we are in today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669201000249725403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710611656756005747.post-40217048143879269052011-06-21T13:37:48.194+01:002011-06-21T13:37:48.194+01:00Anonymous.. you wrongly attribute the mention of T...Anonymous.. you wrongly attribute the mention of Tesco to Ron Bristow.

Flats now occupy most of the old site, the rest being taken by the DLR from Lewisham. I worked at Lewisham from 1966 to 1973.<br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710611656756005747.post-35613949834338230702010-12-05T15:17:12.553+00:002010-12-05T15:17:12.553+00:00Sad to remember the decline and fall of yet anothe...Sad to remember the decline and fall of yet another victim of the mismanaged GEC. The country is littered with the sites of former centres of industrial and technological expertise that were closed as a result of that company's actions over 35 years: Trafford Park, Rugby, Chelmsford, Lewisham, the Hirst Research Centre in Wembley, and so many more.Alan Burkitt-Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344807923068268667noreply@blogger.com
