	London Yard History Part 2
		Yarrows had been eager to move from their small Folly Wall Yard to larger premises, negotiating unsuccessfully with the Millwall Dock Company for a new site before moving to London Yard completely vacating the Folly Wall site.
		Alfred Yarrow’s business had suffered badly during the engineers’ strike of 1897-8, and the high rates in London, coupled with the increasing costs of materials and labour, eventually made it impossible for him to compete with the firms on Clydeside and Tyneside.
		Yarrow’s large warehouse unit was converted into a case-making plant, and the other buildings were used mainly for storage. The site-plan shows the extensive railway system on the site crossing Manchester Road, at what is now the entrance to Friars Mead, which went across the present Asda site to Millwall docks.
