Report - VeeJay Knitwear Leicester October 2013

[The Stig]

Visited with leic_urban_xp

This place had been bugging me ever since i saw it from the hotel window back in April at the big meet/piss up, i also knew a few fellow explorers saw it in April as well.
There is very little history i can find on the place but not much left in the place as its being stripped. A few signs of the Knitting trade it was lying around here and there and the odd sky rat flying into the windows as well :crazy. Planning permission has been made to make it into a restaurant/bar according to leic_urban_xp report.
This place was a former Boot and Shoe Factory, S. Rowsell and Co back in day.
