Description

The Hawkins Factory and Globe Leather Works were both built in the latter part of the nineteenth century to serve the Northampton boot and shoe industry. The Hawkins factory, in the early part of the twentieth century, incorporated the Hornby and West factory to occupy the entire site and both sections subsequently underwent considerable alterations and additions. The Globe Leather Works has undergone fewer alterations and remains largely as built. Both buildings have lost their internal fixtures and fittings associated with the leather, boot and shoe industry.
