Back in the 50s we would collect the hay into small piles for lifting onto the hay cart with pitchforks - in later years it was left in rows for the mechanical collector. |

| Unusual building for industrial site - looks more like a church. |

It looks pretty typical for a small electrical generator plant. The period of these photos was before the National Grid had been completed, and it wasn't unusual for factories to generate their own electricity. |

This was the power station for Silver End. It still stands today :) |

The triangular road junction at centre left is at 51.846599, 0.636301. The photo is taken looking east. The road from the bottom left to centre edge is Temple Lane going up to meet Western Road which crosses the centre of the photo. The houses 2/3 up to right are School Road. In 2009 Google Earth showed a closed (formerly laird hardware) complex where an (see Google Streetview) agent Fenn Wright (tel: 01245 26126) was offering storage. |

Thanks for all the input on this one! The original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry is "cancelled", so not much help to us as I'm sure you can understand... Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |

Well done Jonathan for getting this one which has eluded us for the past six months. View is looking south east. All the roads fit for Silver End. The factory has a Laird sign on Google but looks to be close to demolition. I wonder what the history is here. |

State of back gardens (bottom right of photo) suggests well established housing to right (but out of) of photo. Vague shadows suggest photo taken from south-west (50% confidence). |
