The former Player's No 1 Factory on Player Street was destroyed by fire on 30 March 2015. The adapted Victorian factory designed by R C Sutton (1881-2) was four storeys high and 387ft/119m by 38ft/12m. Until 1902 it was shared with lace manufacturers. After Player’s moved to a new factory it became Player’s Court, housing various businesses, before becoming student accommodation. For comparison, see Image], taken soon after the fire.
