<p>Boucher (Textile Engineering) Ltd, Kidderminster.<br />
<br />
It is on Green Street near a car park opposite of Morrisons. With MFG Charging Station.<br />
<br />
<br />
&quot;Boucher (Textile Engineering) Ltd&quot; marks the three-storey, red-brick administration frontage of what was historically part of the Pike Mills complex.<br />
<br />
The Original Mills: Before Boucher took over, this building with the prominent triangular gable end was associated with the Watson Spinning Company and carpet manufacturers Watson &amp; Naylor. It was used heavily for spinning textile materials and later served as a finished carpet warehouse for Brintons Ltd until 1968. <br />
<br />
The Boucher Era: Boucher Textile Engineering took over the site later in the 20th century. They were a vital cog in Kidderminster's carpet ecosystem—they specialized in manufacturing and repairing the complex industrial looms (and the delicate weaving combs) that the surrounding mills relied on.</p>
