Earlier Dennis mentioned Albright & Wilson. They used to ship out through Poole years ago twice a week
for Rouen,France. I expect our man Chris Webb may know this lot !5

Yes I remember Albright and Wilson well,especially their plant at Whitehaven - Marchon as it was known. I used to take toluene and xylene in there int 70s,could tip any time,great place,although a bit exposed int winter.
That Scania will be from their Oldbury plant and although I can’t see the hazchem code I’d guess at Phosphoric Acid. P J Butler from Oldbury did a lot of work for Albright and Wilson Oldbury,a plant I never went in although I did go into BIP not far away.
They used to say at Whitehaven plant “If tha can see t’Isle of Man from ere it’s going ter rain,and if yer can’t see t’Isle of Man it is doing”.
Ask any old chemical tanker driver on here about A and W Whitehaven,they will always have a tale to tell about it,especially going up the hill from the town.
