The factory is built partly on the alignment of the former Sowerby Bridge to Rishworth railway line and partly on the former tenterfield of Watson Mill. Jeffrey Fisher, in his history of the railway published in 1990, describes the factory as "recently erected". The old tunnel portal can just be glimpsed behind the factory, see Image
