Wallis's Mill, Brigstock, Northamptonshire
This factory was built in 1873-4. It was for the clothing company Wallis and Linnells. The company began in 1856 in Kettering. As the company began to grow it became clear that the population of Kettering was not large enough to provide all the workers it needed. So it set up factories here in Brigstock and also in Cottingham. This one was designed to give the maximum amount of natural light to each floor.
