One of their contracts at the time was to dye the red serge for the British Army. Frank Farnan was my great-great-great grandfather. If pictures of this area exist I would be very interested to see them. Whether the building survived to the 1900's is questionable and if so it would have been destroyed during the Blitz.robert farnannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152950892272252636.post-86803587749625086092013-09-14T19:10:52.227-07:002013-09-14T19:10:52.227-07:00My great-grandfather's birth certificate state...My great-grandfather's birth certificate states he was born in Dyer's Place, Old Ford in 1860 (name Samuel King). I haven't been able to find any map showing the street's location and assume it was re-named. Or possibly it was Dye House Lane, incorrectly recorded on the certificate.
