I know of a couple of people who worked at Rothwells when it closed down, and they later worked at Emerson and Renwick. The old building is now Alkron Export and used to be Shaw Export. We used to build machines in there when we were busy and had no room in our fitting shops. It used to be absolutely freezing in that place, then they spent about £1m on having it insulated, and the average temp then came above 5 degrees c:-) (should my computer have a degree button on it???) Aint been down there for a year or so now but when in there i can imagine what it was like in its day..
