Description and History of Site:-
SELIA (1982): 'The company later known as J. Stone & Co. was started by Josiah Stone in railway arches at Deptford Station in 1842. Early products included patent portable steam pumps supplied to the Royal Navy, foreign governments and British shipping companies. Propeller founding was also carried out on the site. Electric lights, ventilation and steam heating equipment for railway carriages were later products and began the company’s long association with railways. The company has now moved to Harlow, Essex, but several of their buildings remain in other uses.'
