Standard Fireworks
The Standard Fireworks site at Crosland Hill has been sold to Housing Developers, with approximately 700 houses to be built there.
Last year I decided to record what was left of the buildings on the site. All of my pictures were shot from outside of the site itself, so walls, fences, trees and shrubs get in the way.
I worked there over thirty years ago, so will try to give context to the pictures from my fading memory.
The green corrugated buildings called Magazines were used to store either finished boxes of fireworks or individual fireworks waiting to be packed in various sizes of Firework Boxes for sale.
Corrugated on the outside and lined with wood paneling on the interia.
