Report - STANTON IRONWORKS, NEW STANTON, DERBYSHIRE - JUNE 2020

[Michael Scott]

The Stanton Ironworks at New Stanton, south of Ilkeston was once the town’s largest manufacturing concern and consequently its biggest employer. The Stanton and Staveley group was later part of the Tubes Division of British Steel Corporation. At its height, the company employed around 12,500 people of which 7,000 worked at the Stanton works.

Looks amazing here, been looking for this and can never find it

Edit: (think I've found it) was always in the wrong place. Apart from the cameras and alarms anyhing else we should watch out for.
