Enterprise Factory Expert Developments Ltd

This is a boot and shoe factory built in 1902 for the Lee brothers, trading as Abraham Lee, and extended by 1924. The factory is constructed of red brick with stone and timber dressings painted white, and has slate roofs with numerous large skylights to illuminate the north-light sheds. A blue brick projecting stack is located on the right gable end. The original single-storey range has a Queen Anne style front, while a plainer two-storey extension stands to the left. The central entrance to the earlier range features a wide entrance with a rusticated segmental arch. Above the entrance is a gabled attic with a Venetian window, the gable being treated as an open pediment. On either side of this attic are consoles with an "LB" monogram in pierced stonework, likely representing Lee Brothers. Flanking the entrance are three windows with rusticated jambs and segmental arched heads, topped by a timber modillion cornice. North-light sheds extend to the rear of the building. To the left of the earlier range is the 1924 extension, which is two storeys high with four windows under shallow segmental arches to the first floor and three to the ground floor, incorporating a doorway on the right. There are two-storey ranges to the rear. Abraham Lee, a boot and shoe manufacturer, occupied the site in 1906, and the factory was known as the Enterprise Factory in 1916 and 1924, with the firm remaining there until 1954. This factory is notable as one of the first single-storey boot and shoe factories and one of the few pre-First World War examples to survive, representing a key moment in the evolution of footwear manufacturing.
