Former factory, Evington Valley Road, Leicester
The lengthy and rather grandiose former works of the Leicester Rubber Company, apparently dating from 1915. Later it was a Dunlop factory. Sheds extend a long way behind the street frontage.
All that ceased in the late 1980s and since then it has been partly in use while gently decaying. Now the Dunlop Business Centre and (in 2022) seeking a new owner with a possibility of being converted to residential use.
