The End of an Era
The following photos have been sent in by Roger Bater.
Without Roger's efforts the demolition of Great King Street
would have gone down as just another factory that disappeared.
I would like to thank Roger for allowing his photos to be put on
the website, and for all the work he put in going down regularly
to capture this brilliant collection of photos.

on their new sites.
