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. The houses (bungalows) along the top edge of the image are on the A24. The area marked out for development (entrance road in place) is Stag Leys. Much of the space between the factory and the main road is now residential. |
