Tonbridge Daily Snippet

The gramophone records made at the Crystalate were pressed from shellac, a sticky ant secretion & clay. The Cannon Lane factory started production in Tonbridge in 1917, and were bought out by Decca, who transferred the record manufacturing to its existing factory in New Malden, Surrey.
