Description: | 1976.
Image shows the interior of Claytons Ltd., Moorend. Steel shells can be seen, assembled for plating and welding in Bay 3. Overhead on the gantry two cranes would run (each driver being careful to get out of the way if the other was coming). About 350 workers were employed at this time made up of boilermakers, including platers, welders and foundry men. General workers included crane drivers, mates, semi-skilled machinists and labourers. There was a small nightshift from time to time. Outside the works there was a fairly extensive site including a canteen, fitters shop facing the railway line, toilet block, storage sheds and a 'back-lot' rusted steel gravehard. Claytons had a 'pickling' factory on Garnet Road.
