Most of building was demolished after World War II - what was left was used by B.E.L. Fitments. (Think maybe Karrimor had some connection as well afterwards). I am also posting an old photograph showing workers coming out of a mill. I am sure its the same doorway.
Any suggestiONS

Your right Lizzie.
The woman in the shawl on the left is my aunt Maud, she worked there.
It has been Walmleys Leather Works, B.E.L. Fitments and Karrimoor.
