Sir Clive walks down the stairs at Willis Road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D3J5ciukfgtQ I remember seeing that on TV back in the day. Although they don't show anything much going on, there are some nice arty photos of the Willis Road building in its heyday at the original architects': http://www.lgharchitects.com/project/sinclair-research-centre I always liked that place. You can criticize Sinclair's products for being a bit on the cheapo side if you like, but you can't say the firm didn't have style. (It's still there, looking surprisingly good after 35 years, and now that it's the Sinclair Building of Anglia Ruskin University, even has the name "Sinclair" up on the wall again: https://woodvineblog.wordpress.com/locations/) I'm sure there must be some footage of the Timex factory in Dundee somewhere, because if nothing else it became notorious for its industrial disputes and was rarely out of the news. --=20 Duncan Snowden.
