PQ Corporation, Warrington
Seen from near Lidl, this is part of the large chemical works owned by PQ Corporation that was formerly Unilever and was initially Joseph Crosfield. The works makes ingredients for detergents and toothpastes, particularly silicas. Amazingly, part of the site is traversed by the Mersey Way but photography is prohibited in the site. The site also contains a derelict transporter bridge dating to 1916 that is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade II Listed.
The more recent ownership history from a fellow contributor is: - The site had been part of Unilever but was sold to ICI in 1999, who then sold it to INEOS 2 years later as part of the slow break-up of ICI. INEOS was merged into PQ Corporation in 2008.
