More about this scene
This large, late 19th-century factory is still in production with brands including Rigby and Peller of London. It supplies corsets to the nobility and gentry, as well as swimwear and underwear for lesser mortals, all under the umbrella of Eveden Ltd. The road in this view is now a lay-by on the A6.
