Bentalls Factory on Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation
The Bentalls factory, now converted to offices, is home to ICS Triplex Ltd. Bentalls began operating in about 1795 and their successors finally closed for good in 1984. They produced all kinds of manufactured goods, especially farm machinery. In the early twentieth century they even tried automobile manufacture; apparently only one 1908 example survives http://www.itsaboutmaldon.co.uk/bentall/bentall_car_story1.shtml .
