Frame knitters' workshop, 42-44 Bushloe End, Wigston, Leicestershire
The hosiery industry maintained an almost exclusively domestic system of production until the mid-19th century, of which this frameshop with an attached house is a unique survival. It was built in 1880 and the machines seen here were last used in 1972 (when this photograph was taken).
