    The Tilley factory at 114 Colindale ave, Colindale in 1951.
    I believe the offices were still at Hendon, only a few minutes away.

    I am constantly amazed what I end up doing because of the Covid virus. :roll:

    Be interesting if you could overlay a modern picture of what's there now and see if anything of the original picture remains.

    It would be nice to think that those flats/apartments had some name linking them back to Tilley but probably not.

    Tilley Towers, Vapouriser Villas, Mantle Manor.

    I'll get my coat...
