This shows the former back entrance into the workshops, at the junction of Powlett Street and Vicarage Road. I am uncertain whether the Grade II listed status which applies to the front of the factory extends to this end. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1105357 The former boot and shoe factory of James Baker and Sons (established 1850) was built in 1868, closed in 1970, and as a Grade II listed building was restored to alternative use by 2008. This is the main entrance in Cleveland Road. The whole site is now used by a variety of businesses including furniture retail and offices. http://www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/work/industry/miscellaneous/baker
