| 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? Dave Trigg. Derby. |   Triggy | Sunday 9th of February 2014 03:47:01 PM | 
| 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. | Maurice | Friday 29th of June 2012 08:30:26 AM |
