As a kid i grew up in Middleton - part of Greater Manchester, at the time we had,about 1/4 of a mile away, Pandora pickles which as the name would suggest made pickles and also Picallili - there was some funky smells around that place at times!
About 1/4 mile in the opposite direction we had JW Lees brewery which as others have suggested had some strong and to a kid at least unpleasant smell.
further on we had a Sarsons vinegar works, then further on still, we had Senior Service cigarette company - this to me as a kid was the worst of the lot, i absolutely hated the smell.
We also had a sewerage treatment works about a mile and a half away which on a warm day and the wind blowing in the right (or wrong!) direction would create some interesting smells too haha. Yeah i suppose it was quite a smelly area back then!!
One of the worst smells however, was in an area known as the Kingston stink - thankfully for me this was a good few miles away and i only had to pass through it every now and then, this was home to (i think) a tannery - i could never understand how anyone could live near this place

And from what I've seen for myself so does the big 'W' in the fruit department.
Imagine what it must be like to actually work in one!
