The frontage of this factory built in the 1860s is impressive, but in need of some maintenance. Some businesses still operate from within, but attaining "listed" status in 2004 could mean that proper restoration of the site may be in the pipeline. Most other Victorian factories have now disappeared from the "regenerated" area. Update November 2010. This building is in a mess. An application to convert to flats must be granted very soon in order for the frontage to be saved and integrated into the new design.
