Dawson Fabrics ltd
History from @little_ boy_explores Who covered the site well.
Built in 1770 by William Marsden who's daughter married Richard Field who then traded there for a number of years until forming the partnership of Field & Bottrill in the 1880's. Now Dawson Fabrics Ltd. The company name Dawson Fabrics closed the doors at Greenside Mill sometime in the late millennium years with the loss of 70 jobs. Administrators from Leicestershire insolvency were called and are now handling the company affairs. The company was said to be doing well with orders from high street stores such as Marks & Spencer. Dawson Fabrics were making fleecing for jackets and blankets. The company closed it's premises on Wakefield Rd in 2000 with a loss of 60+ jobs to focus on their other sites including Greenside Mill. Outline planning for 149 houses have been submitted with
a demolition order which was denied but as recentley been re-subbmitted with agreed amendments.
Our explore seemed to be quite a bit more chilled than the little lads. Apart from been shot threw by a fellow explorer. So I hid in a room thinking it was all over.until I heard him. Managed to have a good look round. Got a couple of front flips done off the racking onto all the fabrics. Why not...watch out for the dog shit if ya go. Place is full of it.
