The Visit
After seeing a few other reports of this place, we thought we'd check it out and see what it has to offer. Unfortunately the building was a bit of a let down as it has been thoroughly trashed and almost everything that remains has been damaged or destroyed - other than the ball pit area which is unsurprisingly still standing and functioning well
The History
Walkley Clogs is a clog factory where the great British clog is manufactured in its entirety. The company was started by Frank Walkley in 1946. The main styles manufactured at that time were the Safety boot clog, Derby, Gibson and the Bar clog. With slipon styles being produced much later. In 1978 Frank Walkley bought out the famous Maude clog sole works in Hebden Bridge, a company that at its hey day had over 100 employees that turned nothing but clog soles.
