History
The building was erected for Francis Wilkinson (1846-1897) in 1892. The architect was James Huckerby of The City, Beeston. On the death of Francis Wilkinson in 1897, the business was taken over by his older brother George Wilkinson until 1909 when the factory was sold to the owners of the nearby Swiss Mills. The new owners, the Pollard family, let lace machine standings and a cotton store to Parkes & Tomlin and eventually Parkes purchased it in 1922.
In 1960s the building was used for the manufacture of electrical components, until this business collapsed in 2003.
Following the collapse of the business the buildings have been converted for residential use.
