I can remember ribbing Zigzagwanderer at SMM that that all the founderies he worked at closed after he started. I can remember one of the moulders from Marsdens [I think it was Barry] opening a small foundry in one of the units at SMM. He used to come into the Pattern shop & get small jobs done. I seem to remember that he made the castings for the spiral staircase in Leasowe lighthouse when it was refurbished.

I worked in Turners for a year before it closed , the Gordon Alisons for a year & then that closed , I worked at Marsdens for a year , that was still open when I left but closed a little while later . I then went to SMM for a few years , it was looking shakey when I left but it did survive a few years longer . Don't think there were any foundries left on Merseyside by the time I'd finished with them ......
BTW k , any sign of that SMM DVD yet ?
