Howdy All
Went with a friend to the Boots Factory in Airdrie
The factory closed in the early 00's as a 'cost cutting' measure by the company when it moved production overseas.
At the time the main factory buildings were demolished, but the listed stone clad office block remained.
The planned housing development has stalled and the once secured office block has been got at by neds and the weather.
Insde the offices range from burned out to habitable with junk on the floor.

I dedicate this thread to any former workers who remember the good times.

Any information on the site is welcome.
My friend did know what the different offices were but it ment nothing to me and so I have forgotten.
