[QUOTE="UrbandonedTeam, post: 362886, member: 51446"] [U][B]Tetrosyl Headquarters[/B][/U] [ATTACH=full]261067[/ATTACH] This Victorian property was formerly Walmersley Dye Works before it was taken over by Tetrosyl in the 1960s. The company was founded within Bury and Rochdale, and the CEO shows passion to keep a part of the now international brand where it started. Tetrosyl is the biggest manufacturer and supplier of car care products in Europe and the UK's largest oil blender, reaching out to over 100 countries. 80 jobs were moved to Rochdale town centre around 2014, as the complex that mainly boasted a Victorian mill did not meet the requirements anymore for the company to stay.

[ATTACH=full]261068[/ATTACH] We visited this site a couple days prior to lockdown arrangements across the country. It was simple to access the site and everything was wide open all over, despite there being demolition ongoing at the front.
