Description

On the north side of Factory Lane, in Halstead, stand two blocks of industrial tenements built by Courtaulds in 1872. These, apparently, housed some of the staff of the factory which stood immediately S of the buildings. Behind the tenements is a large tract of land now divided into fenced-off gardens and rough ground. This latter area has a number of air raid shelters on it which have survived from World War Two. They fall into two different types, an underground type, of which there are a surprising quantity, and a single large above-ground shelter
