Do you know how safe, or not, it was to work in the offices over the factory at beldam in hounslow. I temped there for two weeks in the mid 80s and spent the whole time terrified id get asbestosis. I now know that they were sued in the late 90s for flouting asbestos regulations.

Was most interested to see the decayed shop front re:the Beldam Asbestos Co. in Liverpool.
I am a local historian and have recently completed a book about the Beldam Works & family. Their main ‘factory’ was near to me in Hounslow West London and was demolished last year following the last owners’ death (6 1/2 site) in existence here almost 120 years, there was also another large site at Brentford Mx. demolished in the 80’s. plus numerous other sites & shops worldwide.
I have a great deal of their original archives kindly given to me by their last M.D. but have not until now seen an actual photo of the old Liverpool site.
Therefore could I Obtain permission to download a picture, which will not be published, just for my own archive.
