Where is this Factory, Mill?, Canal, Bridge? Crown shape on tower.

If the emblem is a wheatsheaf, could it be a flour mill? (I'd also wondered about a brewery.)

The landscape looks to me generally flat with only distant hills on the far left, and probably quite rural. That rules out a lot of Yorkshire, though not all of it.

I'm afraid I can't find any photographic evidence to back up this idea (and I promise, I have looked!) but I wonder if the crown is a whacking great hint for the forerunner company of Crown paints (their website makes mention of a Belgrave Mill where they made wallpaper 

   Would that be in Lancashire though?

I haven't found a photo yet, but a map suggests it may be the Yarborough oil-seed mill at Brigg.

Well done Geoff, so it is Lincolnshire after all.

Well done, Geoff.

I actually visited Brigg for the first time in July but didn't get to that end of town. 

I realised the river was too narrow to be the Trent, so looked for another river ... then worked my way along it from the coast.

Now that's the way to do it - conduct a proper search!
Great find Geoff.
