SNN109743 - Archaeological Building Recording at 65 Sartoris Road, Rushden, Northamptonshire June 2014

A house, latterly used as offices, and adjoining single storey, north light, four bay factory are to be demolished in advance of development. Building recording of the house to English Heritage Level II standards was undertaken to satisfy a condition applied to the planning permission. The house was built prior to 1899 and probably in 1895 and the adjoining factory was added in two phases during the early 20th century. The house and factory appear to have been associated with the boot and shoe industry of Rushden from their construction; for most of that period part of WW Chamberlain and Sons, leather dressers and heel manufacturers.
