Mods, I am not sure exactly where to put this as I am trying to get as wide an audience as possible. Usually there is someone who knows something or worked in such a place in 19whatever or who knows someone who did, etc.

Might be looking at previous claims against the company. Certainly numerous companies near me were involved in power station lagging etc. I think the biggest problem was proving who worked for these companies.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Try the British Newspaper Archive at your local library. They, the BNA, may have titles no longer in print.

Just did a quick search there and there seems to be interesting stuff but it seems you need a paid a/c

Thanks, that is the first thing I have seen with a date on it! 🤔

Thanks and yes, I'll be at the library in the morning.

@BrumJim Thanks. It's a bit of a niché thing, I'll admit, but it's the building of the BR 'AM11' type (later class 311), which were started at Cravens in '66 with many being finished at Met Cam in '67.

Specifically unit number '103', but I am guessing that would be TOO specific, besides, a full fleet list of the 19 would be preferable anyway. 😆

Thanks
