Strangely there's a roundabout near me thats called "Crittals Corner". Where
the old factory used to be and is now a B & Q.



A bit like "Staples Corner" on the North Circular Road at the southern
end of the M1. It was named after a furniture factory that was located
there - Staples made the "Ladderax" shelving system that was popular in
the 1960s.

The company has long gone, but on the site now there is a prominently
located branch of Staples, the office equipment suppliers, so it is
still correct to call it "Staples Corner".
