We have 9 reminders of factory scenes, sports day reminders, fundraising and the day an important visitor did a tour.
Perhaps you are pictured or you can spot someone you know. We would love to hear from anyone with memories of working at the factory.
Which part of Plesseys did you work in and can you remember the friends you made.
Take a look through our photo collection and then get in touch to tell us more.
