We have a few Metal Box machines at work, and there are a few lads who used to work at Metal Box at West Houghton. The only reminder of the factory now is a road called Metal Box way.

The picture must be a few years old now as all the houses were finished a few years ago.

I went on 2 traning courses to worcester, went by train 1st time then car the 2nd, so saw some of the area on that trip.  Nice place, was impressed with the can production unit and work shops, Our place shut the factory down and sold out a couple of times, apparently is now one of, if not the biggest sandwich (outout) manufacturer in the country.
