Was it a production plant or a yarn processing plant? and what was the 'Artificial Silk'? Acetate or Viscose? What was the company?

Anyone help?

This later became the Goblin vacuum cleaner factor (by the 1950's) using the same building. It is situated on Ermyn Way, a road that became a footpath leading from the west side of Ashtead towards Epsom Downs. It is now a modern office complex.
