I know there was a a scrapyard here for a while, but was there a tyre storage facility too? Imagery from Bing! Maps.
I’ve had this enquiry in for a few days now, and I’m curious – please, if anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them. I don’t recall any such facility in Chasetown (one assumes at the LCP), but it was never my territory in those days.

Hello Bob
I was wondering if you have any recollection of a large fire at a tyre storage facility at Smithy’s, the dump Chasetown/Chase Terrace in the early 70s.
I belive the facility was operated by goodyear but im not certain I recall it being quite an event at the time but I can find no reference to it anywhere now.
