Spotted this beauty on the way to taking my nipper to the Science museum. I went back a few weekends later to check it out. As you can see from the exterior image it's on three levels but theres also a basement where I think they did most of the finishings, coatings etc. Theres a quaint little lift/dumbwaiter between floors. In the corners of some of the ceilings there are remnants of the wheels and pulleys with I imagine were part of belt driven machines back in the day.
It's a pity part of an old ghost sign as withered away, might of gave me a clue to finding out more history about the place.
Jigs "R" us last worked here but have since moved to a more modern premises.
Premier Plating Jigs design and manufacture jigs, PVC coating and other specialised items. The business was established in 1981, after the closure of F.O. Thomas Ltd., which had made electroplating jigs there from 1967. At an earlier time the building was used by a sheet metal working company established in 1921, but part of their name has worn off the building which was built in 1870.
Calendar November 2009. The same date on all the ones in the place.
