I found this listing in the 'Uxbridge & W. Drayton Gazette' dated 18th March 1927: “Tickets: 3/4, 2/6, 1/- from Felton's, 314 Station Road, Harrow.” ...and this piece in the 'Harrow Observer' dated 28th February 1936: “Visit to HMV Factories - A small party of Harrow Rotarians, on Friday, had the pleasure of visiting the 60 acre factory of “His Master’s Voice” Gramophone Co. Ltd., a visit organised by Mr. A. G. Felton of 314 Station Road, Harrow. It is a great concern, comprising four factories under one organisation. Each building is of six storeys, where is made a complete radiogram from the smallest screw to the complete cabinet. One of the most fascinating processes seen was the pressing of records from a piece of dough consisting of shellac and lamp black and slatey earth, of which over 6,000 tons of material are used a year, the actual recording, by the artistes and bands, being carried out at St. John’s Wood N.W.1. Upon arrival the party was photographed and an hour and a half was spent in inspecting the four huge factories.”
