Havin driven past these buildings for the past few years, I decided to have a look inside.
The area in front of winding house #1 (closest to the road) was heavily overgrown with trees which screen the door from the road.
The original floor and wall tiles show the era this building was constructed (1911 according to a plaque above the door).
The ceiling mounted crane still survived and some evidence of previous fixtures. Heading downstairs reveals more original tiles and electrical fixtures for the winding equipment (this being one of the first winding houses built with electric motors).
Most of the windows have been smashed over the years, one door is missing in the north wall overlooking what is now a truck dealer.
