The brick building is still known as the Corona building, having been the drinks warehouse in the 1970s. The building behind was Telestage, who made stage effects for big pop groups and shows. The whole site was bought by Vinten Military (later W Vinten Ltd.), and the 1960s brick construction had the metal cladding added. After takeover by Thales (pronounced Tarlez) the company continues as Europe's leading designer of reconnaissance systems, cameras, and pyrotechnic missile distraction systems.
