ENN108193 - Stromag Factory, Wellingborough Road, Rushden, 2015 (Building recording)

A former factory, incorporating a five-bay house dating to the early 19th century and various factory buildings dating from the mid-19th century onwards are to be demolished in advance of development. Building recording of the house to English Heritage Level 2 standards was undertaken to satisfy a condition applied to the planning permission. The house, originally a private school for boys, and factory appear to have been associated with the boot and shoe industry of Rushden from the mid-19th century, as part of Claridge's. From 1969 until 2003, the buildings were part of the engineering firm Stromag and much of the building layout reflects alterations and additions from this period. Information from OASIS Online Form.
