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.

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
