Building record 2878/0/21 - Shoe Factory, off Gold Street

A large single story shoe factory reached by a small track leading south from Gold Street. Originally a smaller factory stood on this site and can be seen on the 1883 to 1924 Ordnance Survey map. Nothing remains of the original building and the current larger factory was constructed of brick, with Welsh slate roofs between 1924 and 1976.
