Can't find a better picture than this, but this building fascinates me. Pass by on my way on holiday each year. Anyone local will know it - I wonder if someone could tell me anything of its history

I only know the building as the old Prestige works (pressure cookers, pans and housewares). It is a fascinating building; almost art deco in a functional way? I think it closed as a factory in the late 90's and Meyer bought the Prestige name.

It looks like something from the film Metropolis, Art Deco, as you say. Isn't it part of a shopping centre or something now?
