Bow Quarter – Bryant and May
July 2nd, 2010
While walking around the East End (26/6/2010) I came across the former Bryant and May factory by the Eastway. I used to pass it on the train in the 1970s when it still had the branding on the outside facing the railway lines but it has long since been converted to housing and known as Bow Quarter.
Former Bryant and May factory from Fairfield Road
What caught my eye was the preservation of the old offices and entrance buildings. Normally in a conversion like this they would be long gone but there they stand today in all their Victorian Gothic glory. What a find!
