This building was originally a film studio, albeit briefly.
It was then bought by the Kayser Bonder company, who made hosiery and other ladies underwear. The grounds included a swimming pool and a lake, the building included a ballroom at which the Rolling Stones once played.
Many years after the factory closed, it was bought by the UK's largest supermarket chain, who proceeded to demolish everything except the Art Deco facade. When complete, I believe it was the largest supermarket in the country (although I don't believe it still holds that honour).
All this in a town of only 9200 residents...
