John Drage & Son, boot & shoe manufacturer, was established in 1861 and their factory shown here at Hope Street in Bozeat was built and extended in the early 20th century. The factory closed to shoe making in 1978. The Drage 'Honest John' logo, shaped like a huge boot, first appeared on the end wall in 1932 and was re-painted in 2000.
