Goswell Plating Works Ltd moved from Goswell Terrace, Goswell Road, London in 1953. Owned by Mt John Roberts who live in Potters Bar after moving to Hertfordshire. He had one son, Neville, who inherited the family but no children of his own. Upon his death in the 1970s the company was wound up, the land was worth a lot of money. The building on the left was the paint spray shop with the extra windows and air ducting.

By the time of this photo, it was the Eastern Region of British Railways - indeed, since 1923 it had been the London and North-Eastern Railway rather than the Great Northern!

I think that this one is likely to be somewhere north east of London but photos were taken on the same day in Merton and Rutland as well.
