The location of this building (View from Miry Lane,1987),was, I believe,the site of "Taylors
Carpet Factory",which I remember being destroyed by fire in the 60s. During the 80s,it
was rbuilt/refurbished into 6 industrial units
by a local company,"Peter Walker,Joiners & Builders". Peter Walker occupied Unit 11,and I
occupied Unit 16,from1985 until 1990.
Crown Paints moved into Unit 15,and Goose Green
Trucks were in Unit 14.Today, Units 15 & 16 are
occupied by "Plumb Center". Top photo is a 13Ton
Bedford TL Boxvan, Ex Bass Brewery,and lower photo is after signwriting and conversion to
become a curtainsider

The "Gable End" building on the right in the top photo is
now the rear end of Shearings Tours and Holidays.
