{2} This 2-storey former boot and shoe factory was built in the late 1890s and was occupied by the Cheney family until at least WWII. The building was extended in 1933 and there is a datestone in the extension. The site contains a lot of empty space as if considerable expansion of the factory was envisages. The 1933 extension appears to have incorporated or replaced 2 smaller ranges extending into the yard from the east elevation and built between 1899 and 1924.
