This was originally a lace factory erected in 1825. George Rawlinson from Leicester began silk processing by 1835 and synthetic twine for net making was introduced after 1945. The site now concentrates on surgical sutures. This site donated a beam engine to Somerset County Museum based in the Castle nearby.
