 Mount Street Factories
replied on: 9/8/2004 12:18:13 PM
Does anyone remember the name of the small *sewing? factory* halfway up Mount St; on the right, next to Mr. and Mrs. Palfreymans? and was it connected with the Glue and Box Factory at the top of Mount St; on the right, which joined onto the house of Mr. And Mrs. Robins. (In the 1950s)

In my early teens (the early 1950s) i use to help Frank Cope and his son Melvin, to carry boxes from inside the glue factory, to his bus, load it to the gunwales and convey the various sized boxes to Morleys and various other nearby factories.

Inside the tiny Box/Glue factory, there were always large, brown barrels of hot, pungent, thick brown glue at the ready. A glue sniffers paradise.

Mr. Robbins was the boiler room attendant at the Sewing? factory and on many a winter night, his son and i would sit, snug and warm, as he reminisced about the days gone by. (Always better days in bygone times?).

Late info. -- The 'sewing' factory name is now know - *'Hunt's hand-frame stocking factory'*. Later it became a Billiard Hall.
