NZ2866 : Former W D & H O Wills cigarette factory
taken 5 months ago, near to Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
Former W D & H O Wills cigarette factory
Beside the 'New' Coast Road between Newcastle and Tynemouth.
Opened in the late 1940s I toured the works in the early 1960s with a school group. By 1986 it had closed, the factory behind was demolished and the Grade II listed Art Deco office block converted into apartments, see; Link
The A1058 New Coast Road has a story of its own. Planned to be a 4 lane dual carriageway in the early 1920s it wasn't dualled until the 1960s and further widened since, see; Link
