Building history Former Robert's shoe factory, Fisher's Lane, 1981
In 1923 Robert Roberts was working at S. L. Witton's factory on St George's. Three years later Robert established his own factory on Fisher's Lane (off Pottergate) where he manufactured children's shoes. His standard shoes were sold wholesale at 2s. 11d. And at 3s. 11d. Retail, whilst quality shoes sold wholesale at 3s. 4d. And retail at 4s. 6d. One of the firm's main lines was the 'Doggy-Toe' range, thus called because on the sole it had a semi-circular rubber plate with a pattern of small spirals, resembling a dog's paw, which had been designed to give children a better grip. Later, Robert was joined in the business by his sons Cecil, who looked after sales, and Leslie, who acted as general manager.
In 1974 Start-rite bought all of the firm's issued share capital, although Bob Roberts continued to manage the factory. However, in the following year Start-rite began to consolidate their operations. Initially the Roberts' factory played a part in the rationalisation process, and in 1975, when the Start-rite Sonnet factory in Duke Street was closed, production was transferred across to the Fisher's Lane factory. Then in 1981 the Roberts' factory was closed and its 100 workers were transferred to Start-rite's Crome Road factory.
