Universal Asbestos Manufacturing / Cape Universal Building Products Limited plant at Bowburn, County Durham

In December 1966, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Universal Asbestos Manufacturing had "expanded its asbestos-cement sheet production by erecting a new plant in Bowburn, England."2 In December 1969 the journal reported a plan by Cape Universal Building Products Limited: production at its Chalford Works, Gloucestershire, "will be transferred to other manufacturing plants, primarily to the Bowburn Plant in the North East Development Area."1 The sources here do not say how the plant came under the Cape Universal name.1
