Thanks. Posted as although I was around at the time I wasn't really particularly aware that any chip manufacturing was going on in the UK - with the possible exception of Ferranti who did the Spectrum ULA.
I think INMOS did quite a bit of manufacturing later but not aware of any left in the UK now.
