IMG 1184-001-Hocknell Rope Makers
Ezra Street near Columbia Road. This one took me a while to decipher and work out. It reads:

FLAT ROPES
HAWSER SHROUD
& CABLE LAID
WM HOCKNELL & SONS

On Google Maps, you can see that the building behind the sign is long and narrow, so that must have been the ropeworks. Hawser-laid, shroud-laid and cable-laid are types of rope.
