Full Description

{1} Evidence on site for the existence of more than one factory amounts to a doorway on Overstone Road with the name Waukerz Boot Factory on a stone cross member above the door. Waukerz looks to have been a completely separate entity to Hawkins at one time despite being built directly abutting the Hawkins factory. The architectural detailing is different and the building is taller.
