Furniture works that closed about 1990 and is probably now demolished. Contained two steam engines, one at work right to the end. Both removed for preservation. While the site was working, access was always denied. Following closure Mr Glenister allowed this visit by the Stationary Engine Research Group (now the International Stationary Steam Engine Society) and about 60-70 people turned up.
