Once a rather grand town centre dwelling.
This grade II listed property in Saint Edward Street, Leek dates back to the late Eighteenth century and was originally designed for domestic use.
It was used by the Leek Embroidery Society from around the start of the twentieth century until about 1930 and was run by a lady named Clara Bill, nee Troost (originally from Saxony).
It was then sold to Annie Sutton who ran a business called the Art Needlework Depot from the premises.
The shop frontage to the right of the main entrance was added towards the end of the nineteenth century, and was latterly used by Moreton's Domestic Appliances, presumably this was created to front the Art Needlework Depot business.
