 Would this be the Lancaster Silk Company by now? |

It was the Cellulose Acetate Silk Company from 1928 until they changed their name to Lansil (Lancaster Silk) sometime in the late 30s or early 40s. It was the National Projectile Factory (NPF) from 1916 to 1922, and empty until 1928. The Power Station was built 1916 to power the NPF, and then taken over by Lancaster Corporation to power Lancaster, Morecambe & Heysham. |
