The Lockhurst Lane 'bridge of sighs' connects two parts of Courtaulds textile works, which expanded along Lockhurst Lane in the years after 1918. The factory, which was known for making rayon and similar artificial fibres, closed in the 1990s and the surviving buildings have been put to a variety of commercial uses, with some converted to housing.
