Description
On Studridge Lane there is an old furniture factory building that belonged to the Plumridge family. William Plumridge made chair backs from this building until the 1930’s. This is a two storey weatherboard building with irregular casement windows and a slate roof. Although this building is in need of some attention it is a reminder of the history of Speen and the legacy of the chair making trade in the area. A significant building within Speen Conservation Area (B1).
2 storey weatherboarded workshop, former chair-making workshop for William Plumridge. Slate roof, original metal windows. Other outbuildings close to road. In a poor state of repair. Proposed for inclusion in the local list (B2).
