This large lace making factory complex, known as Oldnow's Factory. The complex comprises two linked factory ranges and a separate ancillary building, currently partly vacant and partly in use as studios, offices, workshops and for textile manufacturing. This view is of the slightly more recent St Ann's Hill Road range, built circa 1855 for Hartshorn & Oldknow, lace manufacturers. The complex is listed, grade II, and there is much history and detail at: https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391487
