Art Deco Buildings

Tue 11th Mar 2008
Frame foods factory
Built 1904 originally a factory for Frame Foods, who manufactured baby food, hence the 'nourish and flourish' bit and the 'FF' on the hopper head.
Some of the original buildings at the back, including a big chimney, have been demolished so the building now comprises the converted original part at the front joined on to new build at the back.
Originally there was a great big 'Frame Foods' along the top of the building, above 'nourish and flourish', presumably also in tiles but this has been lost somehow over the years.


Hoover Building,  Block 1 Thu 20th Sep 2007
Hoover Building
The Hoover Building was designed for the Hoover Company by Wallis, Gilbert & Partners. Completed in 1932, it was originally commissioned as a factory complex with production, storage and repairs at ground floor level and offices above. Listed in 1980, the Grade II building was in use until the late 1980’s. The original production area is now converted into a Tesco superstore and the Hoover Building to the front is effectively self-contained. The extensive art-deco features on the exterior and in the common parts have been carefully restored.
