Thales http://www.thalesgroup.com/uk/index.html are the second largest defence contractor in the UK. This brick chimney was on their Manor Royal site next to London Road. The chimney was demolished on 20 July 2009 and the other 1960s buildings shown were also demolished during 2009 to make way for Thales's re-development of the Manor Royal site.
