I returned to the Power Station as a Boiler Operator in 1975 after training as a Process Youth at ICI Terylene works from 19745 to 1975. I left the Power Station in 1977 to work in the newly starting North Sea Oil and Gas Industry. I retired in Australia in 2013 after 40 years in the Oil, Gas and Power Industry – ICI gave me my start in working life and I remain eternally grateful for the terrific help and training I received whilst on the Power Station from all the old hands very many of who sadly will no longer be with us.
