Description

Interior and exterior shots of new buildings on the the construction site of the new BICC (British Insulated Callender's Cables) works at Prescot. Plant machinery arrives on site on the back of a truck, is lifted off and moved into one of the buildings. A chimney is cleaned before a huge crane lifts it into position, on top of what appears to be a powerhouse, as dusk falls. Features a very brief shot of a man using a plate camera on site.
