Harris Lebus Furniture Factory
|
Harris Lebus was one of the largest furniture
manufacturers in the world. The company built it's factory in
1900 on what became the Ferry Lane Estate and is now the Hale
Village development site. The company transported its materials by water and
land to the wharf that is nowadays home to Bream Close.
Harris Lebus was at one time a household name. Many homes had Lebus furniture. Those that did not own any pieces, certainly wanted to. For the best part of the 20th century, the name "Lebus" meant quality and affordable furniture. From mahogany wardrobes and bedside cabinets, to walnut veneered dining room suites, you will find some homes still treasure their Lebus furniture today. Learn more... |
