By 1860 Thomas Mabbutt a gun implement maker occupied part of Read's buildings which by then had been extended around two courtyards and to Shadwell Street. By 1871 Mabbutt occupied the whole building and the 1876 Directory lists the whole building as occupied by Abingdon Works Company Ltd., its managing director being Thomas Mabbutt. The factory was taken over in circa 1907-8 by Humphries and Dawes, Cycle Makers. Since 1913 it has been occupied by various gun makers and light engineering firms.
