| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Clan Fdy With reference to the attached letter, the total area of the land leased to the Company with the Clan Foundry, is one acre. This is now almost entirely filled with air raid shelters. It is almost inconceivable that anybody could grow anything usefully on the top of these shelters. Under the circumstances we are sure that Mr. Yeomans could make no use of the property. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
