Sewage purification in Scotland - brochure by Ames Crosta Mills & Co Ltd, Heywood, Lancashire - c1960
Ames Crosta Mills were based in Heywood, Lancashire and were manufacturers of sewage purification plants that were used to equip sewage works. It is a vital job - but not exactly an 'easy sell' - this, one of their brochures, has a really fine front cover - a map of Scotland in almost 18th century style complete with blowing winds (possibly removing the odours) and the sites of the company's equipment in Scotland,
This brochure has a tale - I've seen it and picked it up on almost every trip to a friend's bookshop for, ooh over a decade, and today I finally weakened. Years of saying 'why do I need a brochure on sewage works?' has finally come to a crashing end!
The artist is given as 'Burns'.
