ENN109191 - Stanley L hunt Printers, Midland Road, 2018 (Building recording)

Historic Building Recording was carried out in March 2018 prior to both the refurbishment of the front building and redevelopment of the old workshop and site for housing. The recent interior furnishings and décor which appears to date to the 1970s, associated with the building’s most recent use as the premises of Stanley L Hunt Printers, was cleared away to reveal structural and architectural details of the original factory associated with boot and shoe manufacturing. These illustrate not only the importance of the industry to the town but also the quality, craftsmanship and architectural aspirations in a wealthy country at the height of empire.
