The Libertyland factory in Grey Street was opened in 1934 by Mr F.F. Young, NZ representative of R & W H Symington & Co Ltd., Wellington. Originally an English company with an ahead office in Market Harborough, it was first established in 1856. Mr Young traveled to England to negotiate arrangements and bought back six expert girls to train staff in the art of manufacturing corsets and underwear.
