I worked there for about 5 years in the 60s/70s and (like Lettie) had a bad chest for the whole time - kinda like asthma attacks. It cleared up within 6 months of leaving and I've never had any further problem. It did provide employment for Ossy folk but also killed a good number before their time!
Having worked there I shudder to think what went down the drain and what has been left in the ground.

I lived on Eagle Street in Ossy in the late 60s early 70s which was across the field from cockers, I have suffered with a chronic chest for over 30 years, sure cockers wasn't to blame but it sure as hell didn't help
