Once upon a time these low buildings – ‘Adams Hydraulics – Engineers and Ironfounders’ – occupied the site by the Foss where the massive bulk of the DEFRA building was built in the later 1990s.

I served my apprenticeship at Adams Hydraulics I am now 72 and live in Belgium,so many good memories of the time there and the people I worked with and my interest in photography started there and led me to Eupen in Belgium.
Bit of a long shot this but I’m working in the grounds of a Littleton hall Chester and have discovered a sewage filtration are with an Adams name plate attached . Have you any idea if / how I could trace evidence of the installation. Of relevance maybe the fact that an Adams sewage pump was installed on the nearby A41 at the request of Chester city council
