The factory is a lot smaller than i envisioned it , didn't get to access the main part of it the really good 1930s art deco, looks like demolition is under way. well a digger was on the grounds, and as we waled past looked inside a face appeared (secca?) which is a real shame as its supposed to be a listed building. A re-visit is definatly on the cards before its too late.
A small amount of history or what they're planning to do to it.
