Report - Corah & Sons - April 15

[Funlester]

Random quick visit to this place, didn't get in much of it but a nice little visit.

History -
Corah & Sons was a former hosiery and textiles business, founded by Nathaniel Corah in 1824.
St Margaret's works opened in 1865 - 66 and closed in the 1990s.
Today parts of the factory are still used by hosiery and textile companys, but much of the factory is unused.
The chimney has gone and there was a fire in April 2012, it is not a listed building.
The sculpture of St Margaret which formerly stood above the main entrance, was removed too St Margaret's chapel in 1995.
