Taylor's work from a modern factory unit.
My avatar is the old Wheatley Brothers factory on John street this is in use by Thomas Meldrum & Co, making tools.
There's a few old works still standing, you can take a virtual tour on google earth/ street view.

That's too bad. I guess the Wikipedia page is out of date. Street View is remarkable, true, but still, I want to go there and spend some time in person. There is so much history there to see. All the sterling silversmith shops as well. In fact, all of England is fascinating to me!
