Slimma Clothing Factory, Leek

Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 15 Dec 2007

Slimma clothing factory at the junction of Waterloo Street and Barngate Street. The factory appears to have just closed due to relocation. The company address is given round the corner as Barngate Street. The chimney is quite distinguished with a square pedestal and an oversailer. Waterloo Mills opposite are now converted to flats and are architecturally very distinguished. This type of single storey works is much more likely to be swept away and is anyway a lot less aesthetically pleasing. I wrote the above in 2007 and the works was indeed swept away and replaced with housing.
