I write in memory of "The Chossy" saddlebag.

I just got outbid on ebay...........grrrrr.
I do have one though, kindly donated by Ed.
All the manufacturing was done on a site a stones throw from where I am now.
Built in the 1930's, C.T Osborne made saddlebags here until the early 1990's.

Remarkably, the building still remains today and is virtually unaltered but puzzling to me is.......what is its use now because I pass it most days and there is no activity at all.............no parked cars,people entering the building,etc.
Does anyone know?
