Anyone Remember Small Factory off Woodborough Road ?

Just wondered if anyone can remember a small factory just off Woodborough road down towards Morley avenue ?

Will try and post a Google map image.

I assume this is where it stood or it could have been Bladen court.

I bought a car once from the owner of this company but cannot remember what they made, may have been clothing or something.

Think he lived in one of the big mansions further along Mapperley tops towards Arnold lane.

No real relevance today but interested.

The answer to your original question is "No, I don't" but the factory you are referring to seems to appear on Britain from Above in the late 1930s.

I recall an engineering manufacturing works, Claude B Barton, at top of Mapperley Rise, between Morley Avenue and Woodborough Road.  It was demolished and a block of flats was built there.

 

Companies House shows the company as dissolved with officers having been Mr John Dalton Barton and Mrs Sandra Jean Barton, both appointed in 1992.

Another factory that was actually on Morley Avenue was Fewkes Lace Embroidery (previously Charles Farmer Lace)
