Although the former factory now stands derelict and redundant, it was once a building of great significance in the town's heritage and history.

53 Shropshire Street, the site of Market Drayton's old horsehair factory is at the back of this property

The adjacent, decaying stable block would be demolished to make way for a detached building containing seven one-bedroom apartments. With horsehair therefore in plentiful supply, it was common practice for horses' tails to be cropped, and like human hair, a horse's tail will regrow after cutting. Functioning from around 1790 to 1870, the factory behind 53 Shropshire Street was the first one to operate in the town and was owned by a Mr Jon Ray.
