Odd that the monument does not use the name "Crocketts" but all the sources give that name for the Leather Cloth factory on this site. More information at London's Ghost Acres.

The catalogue of the International Exhibition of 1862 (held in South Kensington) shows samples of the leather cloth and gives: “Leather-Cloth Company (Limited), 56 Cannon Street, West, London … the sole Manufacturers of Crockett’s Leather-Cloth. Patent printed and gilded Leather-Cloth. Embossed Leather-Cloth”.

Cannon Street being the customer-facing address for the company that produced its products in E15.
