York Containers Factory
It was a red-letter day when York-Trailers (as everyone called them) built a factory on green fields at the north end of the town to construct containers for road, rail and ship use.
That was 40 years ago - during my teens.
Now the empty shell lies abandoned.

East Coast Main Line, Castle Hills, Northallerton
Looking north towards Darlington, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
On the left is the Castle Hills Junction where the old mineral trains used to come down the Hawes branch line each evening, in my 1960s youth, then reverse down the main line into Northallerton station before heading out to Teeside on the Middlesbrough line.
The old brick Zetland Bridge has been replaced with the blue metal version to accommodate the overhead electric wires.

Old Northallerton U.D.C. refuse tip
The field beyond the one in the foreground used to be a landfill site used by the urban district council for household and other refuse.
Some day this will be an archaeologists heaven.
I spent much time here during a summer job with the council in 1970.
As well as general household dustbin-collection waste we had:
a load of ex-rental TVs (from which I removed many components),
dead deer hit by vehicles on the A19,
a weekly load of animal parts and revolting stomach contents from the abattoir in The Applegarth
and tons of clinker from the ballast bed of the old wartime "austerity" railway line.
The latter was an attempt to reduce the fly population that was causing discomfort to the workers at the nearby new York Containers factory.
Happy days!

Hawes branch line junction, Castle Hills, Northallerton
The old rusty single line from Hawes runs along side the electrified east coast main line. The modern blue metal bridge replaces the old brick Zetland Bridge.
