Unknown Building (Possibly Office Or Factory?) - Purfleet Essex

[Doppelganger]

Discovered while out walking today, I suspect it was either some kind of office building or small factory, looks to have been built in the 1960s and left abandoned long ago.

Not much left but a surprising find that I didn't know was there, considering I loved nearby for 3 years

Looked high and low for this one, well hidden? Nice flicks

What you could do is go into the NLS website and select "Side By Side Viewer". This would give you an old map on the left and a Google map on the right. All you have to do is to try out various maps for the year on the left and see what was there.

Those Crittall-style steel frame windows and the general structure seem to mark it as post-war, quite likely 1960s.
