Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Friary Park Community Centre, Acton. View south from Joseph Avenue. This housing estate is on the site of Walls meat factories. The Victoria County History for Middlesex article on 'Acton: Economic history' http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=22549#s4 tells us: " Walls bought the 6-a. site of Friars Place house and grounds in 1919 and built a factory there to make sausages, pies, and brawn, with a slaughterhouse in Warple Way to which pigs were driven from the G.W.R. line" and "From 1956 the Friary factory concentrated on ice cream, all the meat business moving to Atlas Road, and in 1958 the two factories together employed over 3,000, with 514 at Atlas Road in 1964. The Atlas Road factory was closed c. 1978 and the Friary factory employed 800 in 1980." |
