My Flying Scotsman of a clue has been derailed... your floor, Calthrop.
Ah -- unfortunate 1926 happening, with passions running high... Thanks. I'll offer ...

Martin Mill?
I like it ! -- but it isn't my planned answer (which is, geographically -- while not "next door to" -- not an immensely long way either, from your suggested one).
