Just a thought, Dave.
The old Coop Shirt Factory must be in the London Borough of Havering so does your local museum have any information about its later uses?
I take it you are familiar with Plessey's WWII activities, including the miniature railway*, in the Central Line tunnels under the Eastern Avenue? I've seen lots of pictures of this in the past but not sure where - perhaps the Redbridge Local History Department (in Ilford Central Library) could help with this a lots of Plessey information.
* Possibly Narrow Gauge Railway would be a better description (but it doesn't sound as much fun!)
