"Morganite Ships Carbon Works" - Grove Road Chadwell Heath - They were still recruiting as late as 1978. >
The multifarious HUGE chimneys had been reduced to THREE brick built & one (much smaller) steel one by 1978, as they could be seen nearby to the North from our house. >
After 1939 the Ships Carbon Ltd constructed industrial strength Air Raid shelters for their workforce to the West of their site, within the grounds. >
They were still there, extant as late as 1970-1971 - I shall mark those with a separate pin (to show location) as no trace either now or in this fabulous 1935 photo'. >
It's worth marking these, because as history fades, there is no trace or record of them online, outside of here.... '
