A grade II listed building from about 1900. To the right is Cross Lane, with the name of one of its once major addresses over the entrance. The Smithfield Refrigerator Works was on a site to the west of the lane which is now redeveloped as flats. Little seems to be available about the activities of the company, and when it closed down here is uncertain, possibly the 1960s - the large premises were mapped as a warehouse by the 1970s/80s. It produced commercial refrigerators (at least) under the name Smithfridge.
