My 85 year old mother thinks her aunt worked there and it produced work clothing.

I will try and post a photo of it later.
By Gregs Dad:
Built in 1858 for Abbots cabinet makers. It had been extended as time progressed. Langdons extended the building in the 1930s. They made tents as well. There was a small workwear factory up Leece St on the left as well - not Langdons.
They folded in the early 1980s If I recall.
