Inside the old factory

The old Walker & Gunn factory - as Chamerlain Plastics

Walker & Gunn had ceased trading by the 1960's and W W Chamberlain moved into the building to produce their textile bondings. When Chamberlain's moved to new premises the factory buildings stood empty for a long time. In August 2000, when demolishing the factory, scaffolding fell off the front of the building, closing the A6 to traffic. Today a block of flats and School Lane road junction occupy the site.

Demolished in 2000	Replaced by flats
