Description and History of Site:-
Appraisal (2014):

These buildings replace a vulcanized rubber factory on the site and were once used, in part at least, for clothing manufacture and/or wallpaper printing. The strong steel-framing with red brick and glazed Crittal infill panels together with its saw tooth roof and north-facing metal roof lights suggest a post-war industrial confidence. They are of a once commonplace type that is now more rare. The building has recently been decorated externally and cut-out letters spelling out ‘Hackney Wick’ erected at roof level. These have rapidly become a local landmark.
