Wallpaper History


I pass this small building on my way to Chiswick Library. It always catches my eye, with its quirky architecture and patterned brick. I cheated a bit in this picture as it is partly built up in front. I think this was one if the entrances to the famous Sanderson Wallpaper Factory on Barley Mow Lane behind the archway. This was one of the major industries in Chiswick in the C19th and are still a luxury wallcovering maker today.
I always enjoy industrial buildings, which are often overlooked.
