Address in 1984, according to something in the Gazette was: " Grundig International Limited of Newlands Park, Sydenham, London SE26 5NQ."

And this book says it was 40-42 Newlands Park: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...5NQ%22&f=false

Google maps shows this as the big 1960s factory I mentioned in post 7. So maybe they moved to a big old house, redeveloped it as a modern factory, and stayed there for a few decades?

As for Paul and my comments at the start of the thread... Has anyone got anything Grundig which claims to have been made over here? Or maybe the premises were for servicing sets or possibly re-working German-made sets for local distribution, e.g. fitting different mains transformers, dial glasses, UHF tuners etc. All speculation on my part.

Maybe a post on the Sydenham forum could be worthwhile?
