Default Brunner Mond Soda Ash Works, Northwich - February 2012 - 13-02-2012, 20:12


After meeting up with HiddenShadow, Dr Howser, Everyonefreezes & Bekoir, we had a decent poke about inside the Jewish school in Delamere but eventually set an alarm off inside the place.


Armed with my MJU I didnt really bust out any digital snaps, everything here was on Superia 200.


I'm sure the guys will have a few to add. Also shouts to the man in the Leads thread for the school!















A car ride and some pasties later brought us here, the soda ash works.


'Brunner Mond is a British-based chemical company that is a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals Limited, part of the Tata Group of India. Tata Chemicals is the world's second largest producer of soda ash. The Brunner Mond plants also produce sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride and associated alkaline chemicals.

The company was originally formed in 1873 by John Brunner and Ludwig Mond. They built Winnington Works in Northwich, Cheshire and produced their first soda ash in 1874.

In 1991 Brunner Mond Holdings Limited was formed by the break-off of the UK and Kenyan soda ash businesses from ICI. This saw the recreation of the original Brunner Mond as an independent company. In 1998 the company acquired the soda ash production capabilities of Akzo Nobel in The Netherlands to form Brunner Mond B.V., now a wholly owned subsidiary company of the group.

Brunner Mond was purchased by Tata Chemicals in 2006'
























We have a few bits left to cover so I reckon we'll be back soon. Peace, Gone.

Really nice. When I was here, i didn't do the live site across the river, just the storage warehouse on the other side.

The live bit looks really good
