  • Dear all,

    That’s great; we’ve reviewed your comments and thanks to your help we can update the catalogue. The revised record with the correct location will appear here in due course. It's especially useful having the ground shot of one of the factory buildings, thanks Hazy.

    Yours, Katy

  • This is Earl Shilton.
    The three roads leading towards the top of the picture are, left to right, Melton Street, New Street and Rossendale Road, with Hinckley Road running along the bottom of the picture.
    The A.Abbott factory is still there, although it has been converted into flats.
    Most of the houses surrounding the Abbott factory are still there, although the block nearest the camera, including the large building with the fire escape, are now replaced by a industrial unit.
    In the background you can see Byron Street crossing the photo, houses on James Street under construction, with Metcalfe Street running off upwards towards Station Road, which crosses the picture right at the back.

  • Unfortunately the factories are most likely not there anymore and will not show up on Google maps. Many such of these, probably boot and shoe factories originally, have been pulled down in Leics and Northants

  • Vehicles in picture look like late 1930's, certainly later than 1920's.
