| 説明 | The scaffolding has mostly come down since I last saw the Custard Factory's Devonshire House. It was still up when I took it last in October 2009. It is nice to see it like this again, although there is still barriers at the bottom. I hope that they have removed the graffiti that was on the bottom of the building last year (when sections were exposed to vandals).My bus route switched to Bradford Street, so I can't see it from the bus anymore.Was part of the Devonshire Works of Alfred Bird & Sons.It was built in 1902.Pevsner description:Six-bay centre of 1902 with buff terracotta arches and windows, ornate lettering and a rich shaped gable with a ship in tilework.
