Have you any memories, new information or corrections relating to this picture?
This isn’t the Loco works; that was a very large site on the other side of Chorley New Road, part of which is still standing.
I remember this factory but I’m not sure what it was; it was alongside the Horwich branch line between Horwich Station (Beeching victim) and Chorley New Road. The chimney on the right was there until the 1990s.
I think that this was the site of Adam Mason Ltd who made specialised ceramic and refractory bricks.
my husband used to work there when h was 15 in 1957
