Corah & Sons (St Margaret's works), Leicester, August 2014

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.

Nice place - good size - decay is coming along nicely in parts....thanks.

Looks like that was a heck of a fire but still looks like a good explore.Great shots and thanks for sharing.

Surprised there's as much left as there is TBH!
