The site west of Crete Hall Road is now totally demolished, with some features already gone in this view. The building showing 'Henley's' was originally the research laboratory. This is spelt out below - 'Cable Works Research Laboratory' - although the inscription (probably tiling) is defaced by three set of windows inserted some time later in the wall. The large building at the right was earlier a tyre works, so mapped up to 1954 - was it later part of the cable works? The vessels and crane are at Henley's Wharf.
