This street is flanked by former tenement lace factories. On the left is the Harrington Mills boiler house. The chimney is just out of sight. The closest mill on the right is Whiteley's Mill and beyond the second gable the architecturally different mill is West End Mills. This whole complex is now in multiple occupancy and its textile days are behind it.
