Hargreaves,I used to work for A E Evans 1969-79 and George Bloomer for a few months in 1994. It would be Synthetic Chemicals down Common Lane in Knottingley,I’ve tipped thousands of gallons of toluene there from all over the UK -BP Grangemouth,Immingham Storage,Staveley,BP Baglan Bay,Bitmac Scunthorpe and Llanwern and LCOW Canvey Island.Never any hassle there although best tip was side of canal.
It was also known as “Sympathetic Chemicals”.

That sounds like Laportes on Ginhouse Lane Rotherham.
That’s the one are they still there

No,I think that place is long gone,I think it was latterly known as Laporte Fluorides.
