[TR] Another story from back in the day

[John Macartney]

Sorry, my fault. “The Kremlin” came about in the mid 1950’s and was in use by former CEO, Alice Dick, and a limited number of his cohorts. Constructed at a time when there was some profligacy with company finances. When Leyland bought the company in 1961, it fell into disuse. Rather than demolish it, the decision was taken to use it for odd conferences and as a new car handover point for VIPs. When I knew it, the facility was still rather ostentatious and IMHO, overly opulent for the purposes it didn’t really serve.
