Hi Jennyann.
Yes something like that would be brilliant. Since moving into the Fort, I've trawled the internet for pictures of Fort Dunlop as it was up until the time everyone moved out. But seemingly, there's not all that many out there. I find that very strange as surely it is one of the most iconic factories in the world.
Like I said, I'd love to be able to see a photo of what the fifth floor was like back in the day. Just so I could place myself into the history of Fort Dunlop... Maybe, Fifty years ago, someone was sat in the location where my desk is now, at his drawing board and designed something using paper and pen. I doubt that person would have imagined that fifty years later, I'd be able to fix something at the Central Library without leaving my desk at Fort Dunlop.
Do you remember what was on the various floors of Fort Dunlop when you were there?
It's quite sad I suppose that I walk around the Fort looking at the walls and the ceilings trying to find something from its illustrious history. Unfortunately, as of yet, I haven't found a thing.
