This was a clothing factory called Strads during the 1960s and 70s (and maybe earlier - I couldn't say, and the 'net is relatively silent on the matter...). |

This factory was built for Osband Bros clothes, my mother worked there when it was Osbands. |

This was the Stadium factory during the 1960s and 70s (and maybe earlier - I couldn't say, and the 'net is relatively silent on the matter...), manufacturing, amongst other things, crash helmets. |
