Surrounded by industrial sites on three sides and the Thames Path on the fourth, this is a house with quite a history (given in the book referred to below [1]). Briefly, it was built in the 1840s as the home of the Enderby Brothers who established a textile factory adjacent; it later made telegraph cables and the site is still making cables, now under the Alcatel name. The building is listed grade 2 (list entry number 1079026) but is now "at risk" after becoming derelict a few years after this photo was taken Image
