    Default Welspun UK Ltd / Christy UK Ltd, hyde (Home Textiles & linen suppliers) march 2013

    HOPE YOU ENJOY

    I Arranged to meet up with NoodleThesis the night before to go and do this place that i saw the day before.
    So i met up with him around 8 in the morning and headed over to the textile building that was attached to the ASHTON BROTHERS COTTON MILL that is now just a big pile of bricks and rubble.
    We cut though wilson brook to get onto the site without being spotted because i didnt want to get nicked climbing over the stone wall on a busy main road.
    I had my waders on and noodle used 2 plastic bags around his feet to keep dry but it didnt work he got his feet piss wet, it was a good laugh mate

    I cant find much history of when it was built etc, All that i know is that they have other places dotted around here and there around the country, and they do some production in INDIA.
    When they shut down the hyde warehouse they had shipped all the macinery from the building over to INDIA.

    They specialized in Knitwear, Bath Towels, Towels, TEXTILES, TEXTILE, Robes, knitwear styles, Bed Linen, knitted fabric, bedroom accessories, Knitwear and Textiles, Throws, knitwear products, Knitwear Textiles, towel robes, Bathroom accessories, Christy towels, bed throws, Beach towels, TOWEL, Luxury bed linen

    Christy is most famous for their soft cotton towels but of course they make other stuff as you've mentioned. Quite a trashed office block and its a shame theres no sign of manufacturing. Still some features like the stairs and doors to see. Good on you for getting out there
