The closed 'Firmback Works' in Hackney, East London. March 2019.
This factory, alongside the Regent's Canal, belonged to the makers of Cintique furniture. They were established in 1908 to produce high grade, firm back, frames for chairs and settees, eventually making complete furniture in future years.
Gruesomely, the site was a former Victorian House of Correction for women. The premises were then used as The King Edward Industrial School for Girls before the site was taken over by the furniture manufacturers prior to 1920. The furniture factory closed many years ago.

This is the view south from St Augustine's Tower in Hackney Central. The tower is all that remains of the old church of St Augustine, which was built at the end of the 13th century when Hackney was a village separated by fields from the City of London. Fast forward 8 centuries and the concrete urban sprawl has consumed and now fills the distance between the City and Hackney, which is now just another area of Inner London. The North London Line which arrived here in 1850 dominates the foreground, with Hackney Central station located just out of shot to the right. Direct Rail Services Class 66 No. 66433 passes by working 4L48 the Daventry to Purfleet Tesco intermodal train.

This lovely Foden four-wheel tipper truck (a 1960 KE4/14 I gather) was patrolling the streets of Hackney Wick along with the RLHs. It has a distinctive Foden two-stroke diesel engine, either an FD.4 (my guess) or an FD.6.
I was attracted to these as a kid by the beautifully curvy shape of the cab and they look wonderful today. Great to see it out and about.
