hothamwater Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 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.

hothamwater Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/245716-heaton-roadrye-lanephilip-road-history-question/#findComment-1394859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
