The Alaska Factory Gate, Bermondsey, SE1
The factory was opened in 1869 for the processing of the Alaskan furseal. The wall is all that remains of the original construction. The white building behind was erected I believe in the 1950s.

Entrance to former Alaska factory
The gate, dated 1869, has a seal on the pediment, originally the principal source of skins for the fur processing factory. The factory building beyond, in a distinctly different architectural style, was built in the 1930s, by which time the firm had become a more generally sourced skin and fur processor. It is now flats. Oddly, neither structure has the benefit of being a listed building.
