Title: Plan of factory fire service mains, 1903 to 1956 [Go to resource]
Description: This plan is dated 'Jan 1st 1903', however it was regularly updated, as is indicated in the bottom-right corner. Unfortunately, these details have been obscured by paper patches but the last update appears to be October 1929. Another copy of this 1903 map on display in the Museum of Reading - and which can be viewed on this website - was up-dated until in May 1956! These maps give a fascinating glimpse into the details of factory life and of the way the factory changed. This version of the map, for example, was made before the offices and large travelling ovens were built between Kings Road and the River Kennet.
