London Hydraulic Co - Renfrew Street, Rotherhithe, SE16
Signs are up, so its days could be numbered. In 1853, about where the above stands was Hales Rocket Factory owned by an inventor, William Hale. One of his inventions was a rocket and launcher extensively used in the Zulu wars and other battles. The rocket travelled without a stick and twisted like a bullet giving it greater accuracy. Before that the site was owned by Brandram Brothers where they manufactured chemicals.
