Building record 1160/0/54 - C19th Outworkers Workshop, 1 Pytchley Street

{1} In 1875, the local newspaper referred to new shoe factories being built in areas where 'the homes of their workers would be for resting and not for work'. Amongst the few examples of the small workshop at a dwelling house is No 1 Pytchley Street. It has a small two storey addition, jutting out to face on to Thenford Street. At street level, double doors open out on to Thenford Street whilst above is a wood-framed double casement window. These dimensions are somewhat greater than those of the windows of the house which the workshop joins. Also on the second-storey, but facing east, parallel to Thenford Street, is a full length external wooden door, glazed in its upper panels.
