No, we no longer have a clothing industry of any size.

Only two, the rest have closed.

No. My first workplace was in an office of a woolen textile mill. I was 17. Like almost all of such mills that had survived that long, I think it had closed a couple of years later, but I had moved on by then anyway.

NHS still going strong but the building I was originally in a beautiful building was pulled down and made into a modern children’s nursery

Yes!
Last time I visited, I told people, next time, I would be wandering upstairs, to see what that part now looks like too!

Mine was the Health board offices in the ground floor of the nurses' home. It is now appartments and the adjacent hospital was demolished for housing.

The school I taught in for twenty five years is still standing and has had three extensions built, to accomodate growing numbers.
