Luke Turner and Company former Elastic Webbing Factory

The former elastic webbing factory, known as Luke Turner and Company, was built in 1893 and designed by Stott and Sons of Oldham and Manchester. The structure features an iron frame with brick cladding and hipped slate roofs. The eastern side of the building has eight bays and is four storeys high, while the western side has seven bays and is two storeys high.

The front facing Henshaw Street has fifteen bays on the ground floor, each containing two twelve-pane wooden glazing bar windows, with lower brick panels beneath. Between each bay, there are iron stanchions clad with iron plates. The horizontal girders are covered with wooden plates, and the junctions are finished with iron capital plates. The three and a half bays on the right are obscured by a later addition. Above the ground floor, there are fifteen similar bays, and above that, to the right, is a two-storey section with eight bays, maintaining the same design. To the right, there is a set-back brick stair tower featuring a single window on each floor. The yard front mirrors the street front, with two twenty-two-pane wooden glazing bar windows per bay. The right bay of the four-storey section includes pairs of taking-in doors on each floor, along with a small, projecting brick stair tower.

Inside, each floor has two rows of iron columns running down the centre, and the top floor showcases exposed iron trusses that support the hipped cross roofs. This building is recognized as an extremely early example of an exposed iron frame construction.
