I love this doorway, which is all that remains of a factory on the corner of Faggs Road and Staines Road in Feltham, very close to Heathrow Airport and Hatton Cross. I just don’t know anything about it. If anyone has any info I’d love to hear it. In the meantime I have to get on with some more research. (tbc…)
Thanks to P Casling (see comments) I now know its the Minimax factory!

Great West Road – “The Golden Mile”

overlooking the (not quite so anymore) Golden Mile
Me on the foot bridge between the old Firestone Factory and the Pyrene factory.
Looking east along the ‘Golden Mile’ towards Chiswick, you can still see the former Curry’s factory, but many of the other art deco factories have gone now. You can just see the top of the new(ish) Glaxo Smith Kline HQ.
