Well work is work Sharpie . The building on the left of the photo , joined by the bridge, was a High tension sub, maintenance & electricians .
They were down to one maintenance fitter and one electrician and one carpenter .
The spark didn't do installation only breakdowns , they used us on installs , they moved the fitter into the main works , the carpenter retired , they made the spark redundant and used Bob the Breakdown instead .
We did a lot of work in there , either direct to Tufnol , or for Bob the Breakdown.
I think they sold the land , its a rental lock-up container place now .
Bill Switchgear was next door , also long gone , ( Not by me ) Now a white goods distribution warehouse .
Picture below .... can't beat a piccy .... is my secondary school , ( now a rebuilt and
empty University of Central England) ..but shows Tufnol with the red arrow and Bill Switchgear on the white arrow.
Then it looked like this ...now its empty and will become the athlete's village for the Commonwealth Games , we're told .
When I went on "The Tools" I asked to get on this site .... "
Yeah Yeah no problem" .but after a year at Stourport Power Station I realised it wasn't going to happen .
