A tall narrow building with ten bays each side of a central loading bay with pediment and cupola, Cooper & Co opened Bideford's second collar factory in 1886 in New Street and purchased the old rope walk as a site for this factory. Following closure it was used as a furniture store and still carries the name Blackmore's Depository.
