Finsbury Works – Tottenham Hale
The story of the Harris Lebus furniture factory is a fascinating one. It was once the largest in the world, employing thousands of people. The factory played a significant part in the war efforts of both world wars. From 1840 to the late twentieth century, the factory provided its workers with more than just employment, including a vibrant sports and social scene conducted at dedicated facilities.
Please click here for a pictorial timeline of the factory or here for a brief illustrated history. This website has been useful for ex workers and their relatives, many of whom have contributed personal memories and photographs here. Through this website, I hope to keep the story alive by collecting as much information as possible.
