This was the home of Bulldog brand gardening and associated tools, Wm Park & Co and English Tools Ltd being various stages of company name changes. Bulldog tools are still made in other buildings on the site, although the company no longer occupies this range of buildings. This view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/928430 shows that they were still in occupation in 2007, but the removal of the Bulldog sign has exposed the nice white brick and terracotta signage in the gable. This range dates from the mid 20th century.
