Carpet Factory, Kidderminster

According to Colin Bowden and the book "Woven in Kidderminster" by M Thompson this was built in 1962 for Carpet Trades Ltd and replaced an earlier building. This became Gilt Edge Carpets in 1967 and it appears Crossley & Kosset were also later involved. It was apparently demolished within 30 years of its construction.
