Description: | Coloured isometric drawing of the Boosey & Hawkes factory in Deansbrook Road, Edgware on the outskirts of North London. The factory was built in 1924 by Hawkes & Son and was aptly named 'Sonorous Works'. Boosey & Co. and Hawkes & Son merged to become Boosey & Hawkes in 1930 and Sonorous Works became the main site for instrument production and music printing. The water tower, which was painted to resemble a military drum, was remembered as a local landmark. In 2001, Boosey & Hawkes vacated Sonorous Works. The factory was subsequently pulled down and a housing development was built on the land. The heritage of the site is recalled in street names such as 'Clarinet Court' and 'Symphony Close'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | circa 1924 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
