Aladdin factory, Western Ave, Greenford – architect unknown – date unknown
I’m afraid that since they closed down the B&Q superstore that used to trade in the factory building I can’t get close to it, so had to pose on the footbridge over the A40.

St.Margarets factory, Twickenham
August 1, 2008Factory (Thames Photographic) at St.Margarets roundabout, Chertsy Road (A316), Twickenham – date unknown – architect unknown
I’m going to have to find out a lot more about this former factory in St.Margarets. It’s a real stunner and as you can tell has been renovated fairly recently. Its used as offices, currently with space to let it seems – I hope Michael Rodgers appreciates the extra publicity!
I’d love to hear if you can tell me anything more about it.
