now hears a story, when first built in the 70s i used to do a bit of loading for Alan Firmin I remember being one of the very first to to load at transfesa all brand new, i drove a ERF with a Gardener 240 engine inside the building and loaded fruit from the train as it was the very first loads coming out of there.
Now roll on to 2005 Whirlpool used site for years i would help unload trains ( washing machines ect ) at about 1600 on a July day I came out the the building from the far end , within 5 min i noticed small trail on smoke coming out of building about halfway in less than 30 min the whole transfesa was burnt to ground gone, so i was one of the first in and last out to use transfesa,Great little anecdote there Karl. I didn’t know it had burnt down. Many thanks.
yes no one knows what caused fire but the building want completely burnt down in less than 30 min
