What does ELC factory look like?

What does the Eastman factory/shop look like? I've always been curious but don't know we're there are photos. I've seen Aero shop photos and employees but not ELC. Is it just a handful full of people? One guy like John Chapman? Hundreds? Do they really even exist?

Put the postcode into Google maps and you can see the outside at least. There are some of the inside somewhere but can't remember where or what site.

Soem yeasrs ago I bought a B2 cap on sale; there was an issue with the sizing and I had to have it exchanged, so I phoned them. Lovely people to deal with and it was all very easy to sort out. It was obvious that I was speaking to someone on a workshop floor rather than a dedicated office space, which gave me the impression that they were a smaller outfit than the likes of Aero. However, given that ELC make to stock and that they have a range of dealers, maybe not...
