BCM
c.1910 Founded as the manufacturing arm of Boots the Chemists
Manufactured healthcare and toiletry items for Boots stores.
As Boots the Chemists grew ever more successful, the requirement was established for a purpose built factory.
John Boot, the son of Jesse Boot, engaged the distinguished engineer, Owen Williams, who had designed the 1924 British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, to produce a design for the new factory. Williams' vision was to build a huge new manufacturing plant that would incorporate the very latest ideals of industrial production.
1929 The soapworks was completed. It was followed by buildings for the manufacture, storage and distribution of "wet" goods (i.e. liquids, pastes and creams) and "dry" goods (powders and tablets). The D10 "wets" factory was the first large industrial building in Britain to be built almost entirely using concrete and glass and is now Grade 1 listed
