Decent little find that! I love their address too haha - very apt. According to companies house G. Yorke & Sons Ltd. was incorporated in March 1931. They traded under that name until December 2005 when the company name was changed to All Swept Up Ltd. The company's still listed as active...although the Hanley address hasn't been on their annual accounts since 2005.

Very interesting! I need to up my research game haha. There was some old paperwork lying about with 'Wilsons Brushes' at the same address too...

Apparently I actually had dug up less information than I thought on this place, but I did find this nice little advert:

Anything in the tall building with the ghost sign on the front Action Dan? Didn't have time to do that bit so hopefully nowt nice in there!

It was secure so we didn't attempt to break in.

It was open when I went back a few weeks later, just some dark soggy rooms and a draughtsmans office covered in bird poo!
