Thanks to forgeer for the info. It is fortunate that I did leave when I did otherwise I would have been on the dole for the last 4 years of my working life.Well at least we do still have some form of drop forging trade still going.

Noticed this posting about bescot drop forgings. I worked there for nearly ten years in the dieshop. I left in early 1983 and have since wondered when this company closed down. It held some good memories though I went onto a better and more peaceful job. Does anyone here know when this place closed down?
