Virginia creeper on former wool spinning factory

Adam Eve, founder of the Eve and Ranshaw department store still operating in Louth, took a  lease on this facory in 1791 for spinning wool to be used in his carpet weaving business. 

The building has long been residential apartments. The First Mrs J posted a close-up of the creeper yesterday: Virginia creeper    

Some of the carpet patterns - they were sold in the UK, Europe and America - are illustrated on the book cover in extra.
