The Launceston Egg packing station can trace its roots first to Madford Lane before it moved to the old British School premises in Western Road (now Stags Estate Agents below). Here they demolished part of the building to allow vehicle access to the rear. In 1947, on part of the old wartime Scarne Camp, they opened a purpose-built building.<\/p>\n
