Factory, Grimsby (1)

A vast plant with a soaring chimney. Sadly, it closed in 2009, with the loss of more than 200 jobs, a fact which I hadn't realised when I took the photo. It was operated by Huntsman Tioxide for the production of titanium dioxide, used as a whitening pigment in, amongst other things, coatings, plastics, inks, cosmetics and food.
