Hard to believe but virtually all this has gone. Probably taken in the 1970’s. Two of the three LP Ammonia reformers visible and Oil gasification plant. No sign of the Nitro Chalk tower, so probably early to mid 1970’s. The only tall structures which a photographer could use to capture the factory from that angle, was the LP Ammonia/No 2 Methanol cooling towers, but access would be difficult, unless it was when the cooling towers were replaced by two new ones (still intact),but that was much later, early 1980’s.
