No, Agfa was built as Howson Crabtree then becoming Dupont and later becoming the now almost redundant Agfa, built on the Coal Road in the 80's or so.This replaced the old cratree building over the way on the Ring Road Estate, a little beyond which was the Kodak building. It was also known as Howson Algraphy at one point.

Wonder where exactly it all is now? Not much seems to happen on the Coal Road these days.
