I hope someone can help with this one? A friend of mine bought a plot of land some years ago and built a house on the land. Whilst in the process ,a small derelict factory was uncovered . It was built of stone. She has since discovered that the factory was gutted by fire in about 1923 and the factory was never rebuilt. She would like to know what the factory made and who owned it. Can someone who has access to trade directories around that time possibly help? Thanks in anticipation! The factory is shown on Old Maps on the R/H side of Fernbank Villas.
