Based on Image 017340 a good reference point is the track which appears just behind the factory and runs to the right and upwards. This is the outline of Sutherland Road which joins St Andrews Road (left) and exits near Higham Street (top right). Based on Image 017341 just towards the top Left corner (along St Andrews Road) on the righthand side of that is Higham Hill Primary School. You can just pick out (zooming in) the gate pillars, the main school building, the playground and rain canopy - typical of early 1900's Board Schools and a further school building to the right all enclosed by usual 5 foot brick walling. The factory sheds that appear in the bottom right corner belong to the Micanite & Insulator's works(Hooker Road). Here they made and perfected 'Tego' Gluefilm, a top secret preparation that coated the fuselage of some of Britain's WW2 fighter planes. There used to be the works nameplate painted black on yellow (8 foot x 2 foot)on the flank wall of Hooker Road off Blackhorse Lane, but somebody pinched that around about 1992. |
