Lady Gillford's House, January 2009
The house was built in 1829 as a private residence.

The enterprise relocated in 2003, the workshop buildings were demolished and the house left boarded up. When this picture was taken, work had just started to redevelop the site as an archive centre, which opened in 2011 - see Image . Compare this view with one of the restored house taken from a similar direction in 2017 Image . (Description updated May 2017)
