Over on the ATIS list there is an interesting discussion on the surviving engineworks buildings.This started me thinking that perhaps we ought to try & locate all the oldbuildings that survivein this country & try to get a collection together before they all disappear.I see what is happening when I see the old Ruston works in Newton le Willowsslowly disappearing.How about posting addresses of any works that you know still exist so that wecan get pictures?--Dave CroftWarringtonEngland
