(The text following is a typical website post to encourage the reader to follow the link to the relevant Interim Blog Page, OR, could be say, the basis of a Facebook post providing a direct link to the Interim Blog.)

The building of the Lace Factory on the east side of the High Street is the last example of a commercial attempt locally to keep the lace industry viable, in spite of the changing economic climate and the vagaries of fashion. The factory was built in 1928 by a slightly eccentric character, one Harry Armstrong, who hailed from Stoke Goldington. He employed George Knight to build him ‘something the like of which Olney had not seen before’. Builder George had to talk him out of Corinthian columns and other fanciful designs.
