Whatever you called it, the number of people emerging from it after the lunch break were mostly seriously the worse for wear with booze - and then went back to operating machinery!

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.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">JM</div><div id="ydp105ad43eyiv5073565107yqt19337" class="ydp105ad43eyiv5073565107yqt4023728562"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">On 7 Mar 2026, at 12:35, DAVID MASSEY <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:dave1massey@cs.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dave1massey@cs.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px;" class="ydp105ad43eyiv5073565107ydp28868561yahoo-style-wrap"><div><div dir="ltr">Another great history of life at Triumph. </div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">The only thing is there is a need for a little explanation regarding one of the buildings in the map of the site.
