Hi The C of E thanks for the review. I'm a bit confused, the article states: " Africa House was purchased by ICI Nobel and relocated to their explosives manufacturing site in Ardeer, North Ayrshire", cited to Private Eye, an extract from which I've provided above - Dumelow (talk) 20:03, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
