Anyone remember Hey Machine Tools who were in Lythalls Lane (by the railway bridge)
They made gear tooth rounding machines. As an apprentice at Wickmans, we had 2 of these machines, and when operating them, the swarf came off like needles. Mick Strong

Self Changing Gears was situated at the rear of the Hey Machine Tools factory on Lythalls Lane. I worked at Hey during the 1970's and 80's. I think Hey is still going, just about, but SCG closed down long ago if I remember correctly.

According to Companies house they are still trading at Lythalls Lane. The site looked intact but quiet last time I walked past (but that was a year ago).
An Urban Explorer has visited the site. |

Certainly do.
My dad worked at Self Change until he passed in '85, and, as a kid I used to join mum and dad at the works club on a Saturday evening. The approach road to the works and the club ran down the side of the Hey works. |
