Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!


Not a great shot, but the only one I can find of the Ever Ready building on the corner of St Ann's Rd and Warwick Gardens. Dated 1971.


Notes: from admin:

This was the centre of the company's research. Originally know Central Laboratories, it was later referred to as Group Technical Centre.

The company spent heavily on research and development: 250 people worked in the Harringay laboratory.

It was closed in 1984, as part of the far-reaching cuts after the takeover by Hanson plc.

I worked there from August 1965 to January 1969 when the department I worked in (Quality Control - Customer Complaints) moved to Forest Road factory. Ground floor = typing pool, mechanical workshop, toilets, offices. First floor = Quality Control, offices, Conference room, battery testing. Second floor =  Chemistry labs. canteen.
