Reader Comments for Canal Road
That sounds like the British Uralite factory which used to make building materials such as chimney pots, tiles and pipes out of asbestos.
There was a small station serving the factory (Uralite Halt) which was opened in 1906.
I think the factory closed in the 80's. There was a high incidence of asbestosis especially in the early days before they knew asbestos was harmful.
Apparently the workers used to mix the asbestos fibres with water by hand before moulding them ready for the ovens and dust was a problem without proper ventilation.
