English: Garrard Factory, Fleming way - close-up of part. This view shows part of the factory, on the corner of Newcastle Street and Fleming Way. The Fleming Way frontage of the factory was particularly badly affected by the fire in the late 1950's, so this part probably dates from after then. Fleming Way itself didn't exist when the factory was built. Instead on this frontage was the former Wilts & Berks Canal. Fleming Way was built on part of the canal's line. The factory was originally used by a firm called Grundy, who made rope and sails in the First World War. Garrard moved their record deck business from London to this factory in 1919. The record decks and record changers produced here, were thought by many people to be the best in the world. A few years after purchase by a Brazilian company, production here ceased but the factory was not demolished until the 1990's. The purchasers later came to an arrangement in 1997 with a British firm, Loricraft Audio, based in nearby Lambourn, for them to use the Garrard name for their range of handbuilt decks and restorations. 1578772.
