Former factory of the John Bull Rubber Company, built in 1915 for the production of cycle and pram tyres. Became part of Dunlop Rubber Company in 1958, which closed in 1988. The buildings, now partly occupied by a number of smaller businesses, are on the city's local heritage asset register, but regarded to be in a poor condition. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/history/1950s-photo-shows-magnificent-factory-3259723 https://www.leicester.gov.uk/media/182084/local-heritage-asset-register-2016-redacted.pdf
