The tower block in the background of this picture is Lupin Point on Abbey Steet.

It's actually Casby House, which looks identical to Lupin Point.

Cheers Fogbrain, took it at face value it was Lupin Point. Had to smile when I checked it out and saw that you were right, that was so well spotted, Lupin Point would be more to the right. What do they say do not ASSUME?

Curious fact: both Casby House and Lupin Point are no longer officially part of the Dickens Estate; also Bowley House.

I started work at Beaches as a driver in 1960, looking at the yard, bottom of the chimney reminds me of our tight it was with 4 or 5 lorries trying to load-up. Lord Palmerston Pub, top right of the chimney, had many a good pint in there, so long ago, but some great memories.

Rouel Road, Lipton Tea, later T W Beachs & Sons, they took over the factory in 1960.
