Hampton Looms . Bedford . 1930's
Produced material for military uniforms and coats.
Sunday the guys were all watching football and I needed to get out of the house. I jumped in the car and ended up in Bedford. I love walking around the historical Main Street in Bedford but this time I ventured off Main Street and ended up here. Since I was alone I stayed in my car and snapped a few pictures but next time the boys are coming with me so I can walk around!
Someone is watching us ;)
This old factory will be the future home of Beale's Beer. One thing about this area of Virginia, you won't ever have to travel far for a beer. Breweries are the trend around here now. For more on the opening of Beale's Click Here also in researching what the building was I found an interesting story on "Real Life Rosie the Riveters" that talks about women during the war that worked in these factories, including Hampton Looms. You can read that HERE
