London's Industrial Past gives the reader an opportunity to read
about a selection of factories that were once scattered across the
city. While older generations may look back at the names that have
gone with great affection, for the younger reader it may come as a
surprise that so many 'things' were once manufactured in Britain's
capital city. The sheer wealth and breadth of products that were
made is staggering, from the mundanity of biscuits to the hightech
of aircraft production. This volume sheds light on those lost
names, many of which are still with us, but no longer made in
London, or indeed in the UK. Areas of manufacture covered include
brewing, toys, aircraft, cars, sweets, biscuits, electrical goods
and art and photographic supplies. Brands mentioned include
Truman's, Lesney, Handley Page, Bentley, Trebor, Peek Freans,
Lyons, Hoover, Kodak and Beechams. Packed with archive images and
illustrations, this volume will be a great addition to the library
of anybody with an interest in London's history.
