and what was the reason for your quick departure?
Decades of layers of super-heated Marmite steam solidified into a solid gloop (yes, a solid gloop, get your head around that, if you can) of such stickiness and malodorousness as to make the strongest of men blanch. We tied scrapers, then chisels, then pressure washers, then steam cleaners, and nothing made any impact on it except to anger it and cause it to release wave after wave of noxious Marmite gasses.
Each day was like a Sisyphean lifetime.
I shall be going to Erith next weekend to do part of the Green Chain walk from Erith to Falcoln Wood via Lessness Abbey Wood and Bostall wood. I shall have a look out an old factory building with chaps still trying to clean solidified gloop from the walls.
Meanwhile, your post has made page one of a google search for 'Marmite Factory Crayford'.
