Wellingborough: Former boot and shoe factory

This area of Wellingborough is littered with scattered odd buildings that reflect the town's industrial past. This former boot and shoe factory, at the junction of Strode Road with Mill Road, dates from 1898. It was latterly occupied by the engineering firm of Gilmour & Vale, and now appears to be disused, although the pile of building material bags outside would suggest that refurbishment work is imminent. Please see Dave Bevis's photograph of the same building from the same viewpoint in 2012 here Image]
