Closeup of the wonderfully dilapidated medieval weaver's houses on upper Church Street. They were progressively demolished from 1908 as the Hollingtons clothing factory grew. The factory is now derelict and plans are being drawn up for its redevelopment.
Might these buildings be reinstated now that the Hollington's factory is finially unoccupied? it would be wonderful to return the frontage and give this part of church street its lost characture. This idea worked well when the old fire station was demolished on Market Hill.
