The factories of Russell, Newdigate and Gamble Streets were built after 1870, some, such as the subject of this picture, with lantern finishing rooms with large windows on the top floor (like the workshop windows of the earlier frame-knitters' cottages, but on a much grander scale). This is the former Kirk's factory (1872), now student accommodation. See Image] for a closer view of the clock on the Newdigate Street corner.
