The Factory that Became a Village by Jim Lewis

Four local businessmen had the vision to rescue a Grade II listed building, the Royal Small Arms Factory, and turn it into a vibrant sustainable business for the benefit of the local community.
Dr Jim Lewis has spent most of his career in the consumer electronics industry, apart from a three-year spell in the Royal Air Force servicing airborne and ground wireless communications equipment. When working in the Lea Valley for Thorn EMI Ferguson he represented the company abroad on several occasions and was involved in the exchange of manufacturing technology. Currently he is a Consultant to Terry Farrell & Partners on the historical development of London's Lea Valley and a Workers' Educational Association (WEA) tutor teaching industrial history. Among his published works are London's Lea Valley: Britain's Best Kept Secret (1999) and London's Lea Valley: More Secrets Revealed (2001).
