| Comment | The former Lawrence Wilson & Sons Silver Cross pram works is on the left. The factory was originally built on 2 acres of land (late 1870s-early 1800s) by Hugh Claughton who manufactured boots and shoes there. He called the core building Nethermoor, after his death the business foundered, the works were bought by Naylor Jennings of Green Lane Dyeworks who spun artificial silk there. Wilsons relocated to the factory from Leeds in 1936 and remained there until the company moved to premises near Skipton around 2002. |
