Former Chad Valley Wrekin Toy Works in Wellington
Looking here like a cardboard cutout, this is the High Street side of a substantial building http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3702006 extending along St John Street, built as a Wesleyan Methodist chapel in 1836, though the curved frontage seen here was absent until the early 1920s. A Sunday School extension was added to accommodate more than 400 children who attended regularly.
As Victorian Methodism become more popular, a larger church was built elsewhere in 1882 whereupon this building was renamed Central Hall, where groups such as Bible Reading and the YMCA met.
From 1916-1975, the building was a Chad Valley factory which made many soft toys, including the Smurfs, Flooks and Harry Corbett's glove puppets Sooty, Sweep and Soo.
Now (October 2013) in use as flats.

The Three Crowns for sale in Wellington
Metal sheets protect the door and ground floor windows of the closed pub at the western end of High Street. This is one of several derelict former businesses in High Street Wellington. Located east of the main shopping area (which is in and around New Street), High Street in October 2013 was a quiet and depressing backwater.
