Yes. The original Simpson's workshop in Somerset, complete with lathe powered by a watermill, is now razed to the ground. Presumably replaced by a supermarket or garden centre.

Thanks Fido! That's excellent! I was informed by a former Simpsons worker that the factory had 'all gone', which I took to mean demolished. I'm pleased to say I was wrong.
