--- the following annotation is from Bob Rust, GLIAS :
GR TQ 3403 7972. (Wolseley Streeet, not the one in St Saviours Dock) Title should be 'Site of'. Whole area redeveloped. Remembered by adjacent Jacob Street. In 1956 the factory had a new illuminated sign. This stood 16' 6" high on the lorry and went from GEC Wembley to Rotherhithe without going under any bridge but Highgate Arch. - Robert Mason - 26 May 2022 - Robert Mason - 18 November 2023 - Robert Mason - 7 December 2023
