Paint and Lead Rolling Mill

This building has some interesting additions to the front. For example the mention of 'HMS Goliath' with the names of Captains Wintz and Henderson.


I am now trying to get some information connected with this vessel which was, I believe, sunk by a Turkish Motor Torpedo Boat in, or near, the Dardanelles, on 13th May 1915. She sank losing 570 men.

HMS Goliath was a Chatham built ship, completed in 1900 and Captain Lewis Edmund Wintz commanded Goliath in a minor part of the "Boxer Riots".
