Norton For Scrap Site

NORTON FOR SCRAP ..........IS UP FOR SALE:034:

Got the signs up,won't be long probabaly before it's sold!

Expect a new high rise block to match that on the opposite corner of Parliament Street!!!!

That was a dead cert that was gonna happen :PDT11

Yeah, that must have been on the cards for a while.

I guess that when you are not making family homes with gardens then you can afford to build on contaminated land.

Can anyone nick me the NORTON FOR CRAP signs? They'll be worth a fortune :)

It's funny how names like that stick. I once gave my mate directions and told him by the Norton for Scrap' place - he even said 'oh is that by the Norton for Crap sign! :PDT11

The original signs on the wall may already have been taken off??
The new advertising for sale sign is over the same area so you cant see NORTON FOR SCRAP.
I remember seeing the picture someone took of the original sign to make it look like NORTON FOR CRAP,i think it was in the echo,someone must have a copy somewhere:)

The NORTON FOR SCRAP sign isn't visible now.
I went yesterday to take a photo.

I love the way the S Is acid dentally missed out.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Gutted that it's gone. I loved driving past and stopping so the s would be blocked off!!
Went to get a picture the other day, so thanks for this one!!
Always a good sign to talk about to see how many people knew about it.....

This site used to be The African Oil Mills owned by the C.W.S.
My dad used to work there, would anyone have a photo of this factory.
