Full Description
"There was also and extensive textile manufactory at the rear of the premises now called “Manchester House” in the Fore-place. Stables and out-buildings – remains of an old cloth factory – were taken down in 1909, when the residence of Messrs. Daniel and Pim, surgeons, became enlarged." (1)
This was probably the sail cloth works of Thomas Frampton & Son who were on the south side of The Square in the early 19th century, but production had largely ceased in the 1830s, when they acquired Cox & Co. sailcloth works on Fleet Street (2) (3).
