LANCASHIRE SOCK

• 13300 - Finishing of textiles

Lancashire Sock was founded in 1917 by William and his wife Mary Ormerod, manufacturing insoles for shoes and boots... Here at Lancashire Sock we pride ourselves in being recognised as the UK's leading manufacturer of latex foam and crumb rubber coated felts and textiles which are used in a wide range of domestic and industrial applications from footwear insoles to carpet underlay... Nevertheless, like many other cotton companies, The Britannia Mill Company stopped trading after the First World War. Lancashire Sock Manufacturing Company moved in in 1926, sharing it with Gaskells (who occupied the single storey weaving shed and the two storey section on the main road) until they moved out in 1990, when Lancashire Sock took over all of Britannia Mill.
