Photographer's note; 'A steel-framed building with a patent ‘Lamella’ tied-arch roof of 95ft (29m) span to permit a stanchion-free floor. The roofing system, using standardized, short, shaped members known as lamellae – in this case pressed steel bars bolted into a diamond pattern – was of German origin, deriving from a timber construction technique patented by Friedrich R. B. Zollinger in 1921; the Horseley company had held the UK licence for the steel patent since 1930.'
