Label TextLondon photographer, Arthur Gleason, captured this aerial view of the Dundas Street Kellogg plant in the 1930s. The company had relocated to this East London site in 1914, expanding the complex over time to increase production and accommodate new technology. Hydroelectricity, introduced in London in 1910, powered the facility. The Empire Brass Company (bottom, right), one of many industrial neighbours, is across the road. After Kellogg’s closed in December 2014, developers bought the buildings. Now called 100 Kellogg Lane, the site includes a trampoline park, an arcade, and escape rooms, among other attractions.
