More about this scene

Taken from the corner of Pioneer Avenue and the Rothwell Road (A6), and looking towards the town, the photograph shows the five-storey Co-operative Wholesale Corset Factory on the left and its associated buildings to the right of the building. Now operated by Eveden, it is still associated with the manufacture of ladies underclothes, albeit of a more modern kind, such as bras and swimwear.
