Although I was not the one originally asking for information I would still be very interested to hear about the company.

It became a subsidiary of Petrofina because the owner - a Mr Burgess from memory - who also owned an ironmonger in Wooler - owed Petrofina so much money.
After an audit - following which the assets were substantially written down - in 1967 - the depot caught fire - and everything was written back up again for insurance purposes!!" Chris |
