Former Hope Foundry, St George's Street

A fine example of an early 19th century factory, with the buildings surrounding an enclosed yard accessed through a gateway. It may have started life around 1800 as a textile mill, but was in use as a foundry by the late 1820s. Now sympathetically converted into flats.
