The Gala Cosmetics factory and tower was a local landmark which stood beside the southbound carriageway of the A3 Kingston by-pass 1945-83. If you look at the period Gala job advert above the building and tower with the black diamond shape sign can also be seen in the background of the photo with John Cooper overtaking a double decker bus.....the Gala site is now occupied by modern industrial buildings and offices.
