| English Heritage photo of the Long Lane Factories |
This aerial photo was taken of the Long Lane factories in 1933 when production would have been in it's heyday. Jacob's factory still produces cream crackers and other confectionary. Jacob's is the nearest in the photo. The Hartley's factory ceased production in 1962. Notice the fishing pond far left and the houses to the right of it. These were originally built for the workers and are occupied today by private owners. The small estate is known as Hartley's Village.
Hartley's Chimney
Jacob's and Hartley's 2023
With the aid of our drone, we can compare the 1933 English Heritage photo of the factories with what it looks like today. Jacob's is still there with a few changes. The chimney has gone.
The Hartley's factory is derelict with some of the buildings to the right gone. Notice the chimney is still there and so is the fishing pond. Let's take a closer look...........
It's amazing that the chimney we see in the English Heritage photo has survived, and here it is close up!

| Up Close Hartley's Chimney The chimney has undergone some restoration work over the years as it is now a listed building. The lightning conductor should prevent any electrifying misshaps! Derelict Jam Factory Video of Hartley's Factory - click image to view  Home |
