retired Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I worked there as a sub contractor in the 70's for I think for T Ardern & Sons Builders Ltd. A plasterer I was working with died from a heart attack right next to me. Will never forget it. I think his name was Lesley Hunter from Heeley. Always had a job getting out of there with that metal detector. I don't think the security liked me that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
