"GKN Sankey Factory"

The factory shown in this photograph is not the GKN Sankey Factory, but the Bean Industries factory at Coseley. There was indeed a GKN Sankey Factory but this existed a couple of miles away at Bilston and closed in 1981, whereas Bean Industries closed in 2005 and was demolished in 2008.

The factory shown is, or rather was, the Sankey Factory as described and NOT the Bean Factory. It is indeed in Bilston and is now the Chestnut Walk housing estate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.14.114 (talk) 11:16, 17 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
