It was in Etlow Road, off Church Road, Leyton. I worked there from 1968 to 1974 when it was Caribonum Ltd, carbon paper manufacturers. My mother and sister also worked there as did most family members attached to employees. My sister worked in the Export Dept, mum was originally in the factory but progressed into the laboratory. I started as a Junior and progressed into Accounts.

I'm not sure if the building still exists, however the whole site is now a mini industrial estate. Would be nice to think that the old building still stands
