The name of Blekersstraat and the new district Kortrijk Weide refer to the bleaching fields that used to lie on both sides of the Leie. However, Blekerij Nolf had to pack up at the end of the nineteenth century because a freight station was being constructed. Across the Leie was the open-air bleaching facility Vercruysse-De Pantin. In 1920, the Blanchisserie de Courtrai was established there, a textile complex of which only the office building remains today.
