Dist:0.9km north<br/>One of Slough's iconic images, the Horlicks factory on Stoke Poges Lane was completed in 1908 at a cost of £28,000. The brand name and the site now belong to GlaxoSmithKline. Everything you ever wanted to know about Horlicks (for example that India is by far the largest market for the product) is contained in the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horlicks , and, for a free plug which should ensure I get a lifetime supply of the stuff, here's Horlick's own website http://www.horlicks.co.uk/
