In 1949, the last of the locomotives made by LLW came through its gates. Today, the land the factory used to sit on is empty, save three buildings. However, the canteen/depot is still standing and currently used as theShow MoreRelatedI Am Researching About Registered Nursing1454 Words   |  6 PagesI am researching about registered nursing (RN).
