    Arrow Courtaulds, little heath works, Coventry. Nov2009

    The little heath works has been a base for Courtaulds since 1905. Producing acetate, filter tow and various synthetic firbres/yarns. Notably the first company in the world to produce viscose filament yarn. At its peak they employed 5000 people yet slowly production dwindled and the site closed in, i believe 2007.

    Pictures taken over two visits to the site.
