Cape Universal Building Products Limited plant at Chalford, Gloucestershire

In December 1969, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Cape Universal Building Products Limited was "modernizing and consolidating its asbestos-cement manufacturing operations," and that the "production facilities at Chalford Works, Gloucestershire, will be transferred to other manufacturing plants, primarily to the Bowburn Plant in the North East Development Area."¹ The journal reported the move as planned; no row here says when Chalford's production actually stopped.¹
