We’ve obviously done a bit of research and know that The London Carriage Works originally, as the name suggests, housed a coach builder, and since then the building has been home to various companies such as booksellers, telephone companies and more recently a furniture depositary.
Some of our colleagues can remember the furniture store 'AJ Buckinghams', our Sue Ainger used to live nearby in the late 1980’s and said “I used to pass most days and barely even noticed the building, (which is quite shocking as it’s so beautiful), except for an overall impression of an abandoned space with a few dusty old card board cut outs on display in the windows”.
We are wondering if any of our website visitors can remember the building before we moved in? Do you have any interesting recollections or historical facts? Please share your memories with us by clicking on the comments option below.
