BBC Rewind: 'Devastating' fire guts Corby crisp factory
About 800 workers at a crisp factory faced uncertainty about their jobs after a major fire gutted the site.
The blaze at Golden Wonder in Corby in September 1988 was believed to have been started by a faulty hot oil pipe.
It caused £50m pounds of damage and took six months for the factory to get back to full production.
One worker said: "It's devastating. It's been my livelihood for the last for the last 24 years. Golden Wonder's been good to a lot of people in Corby."
