Default Re: Philips to close last UK Factory.(Glemsford)

There was a Philips factory just down the road from me. It used to be called Mullard Magnetic Components in the days of CRT televisions and had strong links with the Blackburn factory where my late uncle worked. There was always a humming noise and a "hot" smell emanating from it

It was then re-branded Philips and closed several years ago. The building hung on for ages but is now being demolished to be replaced by housing.
