Small factory on Mill Road, now utilised by 'Draycon Engineering'. Film 10, photo 14.

{2} An L-plan, 2-storey workshop. No leather-trades use has been identified so far. The south gable of the west elevation incorporates a tall stack which may indicate that it accommodated a gas-engine or similar motive power. A faded sign on the gable says 'Dorman', probably referring to the engineering company of that name.
