Present day use for this old works, is Willson & Dowling Decorative Plasterers Ltd. It's seen a variety of professions, from garage, to upholstery and joinery. A friend tells me that it started life as, The Model Dairy Farm. A date stone reads, MODEL DAIRY FARM 1892. The lane runs from Crookes, down to the wooden fence and then does a ninety degree turn to School Road, so it can be approached from two directions. This has an advantage in that a rear side entrance door http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1148713 can be reversed up to for loading and offloading. Not a lot of room for manoeuvring though.
