London’s Accuride manufacturing plant shut down on Friday, for many it was the end of their last shift.

150 unionized workers are now out of a job.

The remaining 20 workers will finish their work by mid-February.

The plant has operated since 1968 - at its manufacturing peak as many as 800-people worked at the east-end site.

Past and present employees gathered to say their final goodbyes.
