Messrs Henry Ingle and Sons began trading in Rushden in about 1911, as leather factors, from a property in Park Road. They took over the Sanders and Sanders factory in High Street, at the junction with Station Road, in 1916 when the former owners moved to a newly built factory in Spencer-road. They expanded the business by also dressing the leather, and continued until WWII.
The factory is occupied in 2008 by the Co-operative Funeral Service – the only Co-op in Rushden today.
