The slate roof peeking above the building to the right of centre belongs to a former two lace factory of c1910 and owned by George Beardsley. The name Beardsley was still visible on the roof when zoomed in closer. The 1960s building were, I believe, Gardner Aerospace. All these buildings have been cleared and replaced by a housing development.
