This industrial works building is, I believe, a relic of Watford's past history of printing, and, I think, was originally built for and occupied by a company called Rembrandt Photogravure who produced posters and other similar items, hence the name of the works. The company was absorbed into Sun Printers around 1960, and subsequently printing production ceased at this site. Today the building, which has an approximate 120 metre long frontage along Whippendell Road, is in multi-occupancy business use.
