Those washing machine drums were for the Hotpoint 'WMA' range. The split tank design being held together with screws was a new concept for General Domestic Appliances for their range of washing machines, replacing a previous clipped together design. I would imagine GKN would have been fairly instrumental in providing fastners for this project, hence the drums being on site
Teepol I believe is still made , in the RAF that is what we used as washing up liquid and to wash the Fire Trucks . Of cause by then they came in plastic containers .
Guest Keen and Nettlefold still exists and have been for a couple of hundred years, they weren't just for the war it was like most factories that did engineering etc were involved in the war effort. My second driving job in 1966 was driving for a metal fasteners company called Davis and Timmins Ltd, they were based in Wood Green North London selling nuts bolts and screws etc.
Wonder if they made screws and fixings during the war or it was repurposed to something for the war like aircraft parts. I'm sure some people in the area will know the history.
The firm made screws and fixings from its very start. Were these products of use to any of the armed forces during WW2 would have been consequential, as they made them anyway, although they may have made certain items to order.
A cool location well done
The place looks great folks 👍👍❤

All Wars are Fake by the way.

Good information buddy makes sense guess thay used it as a degreaser mabey ?
@@KIRBZVIDS I would say so it was industrial strength .
Teepol is indeed an industrial detergent and still used in universities to this day. Buggers your skin up though so always use Marigolds!

I very much doubt the locals will know anything as they are all Asian types.
