![Dist:0.2km<br/>The building now known as [[[1788923]]] seems once to have housed the defunct lateC19 to mid-C20 Globe-Wernicke furniture company which manufactured 'elastic' modular bookcases and other high-quality reproduction pieces in the Arts & Crafts style, now highly collectable.](http://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/78/89/1788941_76ac5425_120x120.jpg "TQ2482 : Former Globe-Wernicke premises")

![Dist:0.2km<br/>Orpheus House on the Harrow Road was shown in [[1601705]] as a new block of flats. Some of the flats are let on a "live and work" basis, with one room available as a work space. Recently the ground floor end section has been fitted with plate glass windows, presumably available as commercial premises, and the open area next to the canal has been made into a small open space with paving, lawn, and benches.](http://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/55/00/2550082_e646cde9_120x120.jpg "TQ2482 : Orpheus House with showroom and open space")
