London's Industrial Past presents a captivating journey through the city's rich industrial heritage, offering readers a glimpse into a selection of once-thriving factories that once dotted the urban landscape. While older generations may cherish the names associated with these factories, for younger readers, it may come as a surprise that such a diverse range of products were once manufactured in the heart of Britain's capital city. The sheer abundance and complexity of the goods produced are truly astonishing, spanning from the everyday essentials of biscuits to the cutting-edge technologies of aircraft production. This comprehensive volume sheds light on the forgotten names of these once-famous manufacturers, many of which still exist today but are no longer produced in London or the UK. The manufacturing sectors covered in this book encompass a wide array of industries, including brewing, toys, aircraft, cars, sweets, biscuits, electrical goods, and art and photographic supplies. Some of the brands mentioned include Trumans, Lesney, Handley Page, Bentley, Trebor, Peek Freans, Lyons, Hoover, Kodak, and Beechams. Packed with a wealth of archival images and illustrations, this volume serves as an invaluable addition to the library of anyone with a deep fascination for London's history.
