Orchard Confectionary, 10 Holly Road, Blackheath
Not sure if Orchard House is still there but the factory has long since gone.There was a monkey puzzle tree in the front garden just visible in this picture. My mother was born in this house and her grandparents Maria and Joseph Johnson lived there with the family in their old age. Note the sign on the left also in the window above the front door.
