The Gas Board Man checked over Baldwin's Casuals just a few days before it was demolished in 1989. He was escorted through the building by Percy Sugden, who had been entrusted with the factory keys by owner Maurice Jones. Percy brought his usual army-like efficiency to the job by making an official note of the man's arrival and departure times. Noting this, the man asked dryly if he wanted to search him, but Percy said it wouldn't be necessary.
