This aerial photograph has recently become available which shows the Wright & Dobson lace finishing factory in Carlton Road, Nottingham, while in was still open. The factory was also known as ‘the Albany Works’. Soon after this image was taken there was a fire in the ventilation ducts on the roof of the main building, and the factory closed soon after. We believe that the site was demolished in 2000. The Co-op store can be seen on the lower right, this closed in 2008.
Developer Blueprint (Igloo) intend to put in a planning application “before Christmas” to build a new ASDA store on the vacant land where Wright & Dobson’s once stood, and a number of new social houses on the site of the Co-op once the store and warehouse have been demolished.
