ICI Hillhouse

ICI Hillhouse was a chlorine-production facility in Lancashire, England. A division of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), it was active between 1941 and 1992. Its triangular footprint spread from the banks of the River Wyre at Stanah in the east, to Hillylaid Road in the southwest, to the southern edge of Fleetwood in the north. Its entrances were on Hillylaid Road and on Butts Road in Burn Naze. Burn Naze Halt railway station served those arriving by train.

Fire
On 26 July 1963, a fire broke out in an electric furnace at ICI Hillhouse. The furnace was used to heat anthracite to make carbide electro paste. While local brigades (Blackpool and Lancashire) also attended, the fire was fought by the on-site ICI Works fire brigade. A rush of flames injured seven firefighters, with Raymond Pearson, 40, dying a day later in hospital. == See also ==
