Hi,

Please see attached image - I am trying to identify the building labelled "Works" in this map of Heaton Road/Rye Lane/Philip Road area from the 60s/70s. Previously (in 1950s) it was labelled Furniture factory.

I am interested to know what it was, who ran it and most importantly, what was the address here?

My family ran it as a woodworking factory in 1900 for a few years and I would like to find out more.

If any one has any photos from the 70s/80s even better but I suspect that's a long-shot.

Thanks for the replies. I have found that the building is the same now as it was about 150 years ago!

It used to be stables and then a workshop in about 1900 and has been various factories and workshops ever since.

I did contact the current occupiers and they were helpful. Although I would still like to find out what it was in the 50s-70s if anyone has any information.

Thanks again

    • The one on Chesterfield was sold and they increased cost and some of their best staff left with the previous owner, hasn’t been the same since. Shame really
    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
