Extract from Cornucopia : "During the mid- to late-19th Century the mechanised boot and shoe industry began to grow in importance. Although Northampton is synonymous with the manufacture of footwear, Leicester was on equal terms in the mid-19th Century, especially for the cheaper end of the market. In the 1860s the Leicester manufacturers patented ‘Leicester welting’, which was machine-applied steel staples for cheap mass-produced footwear. The headquarters of Stead & Simpson, Freeman, Hardy & Willis, Timpson’s and Equity are still in Leicester."
