Fac 251 The New Factory headquarters at "One Charles Street", in Manchester. After they'd bought it, and before it was ready for post-Ben Kelly occupation, Factory realised they had a whole lot of wall space to fill and prime billboard country it was too. So, they plastered it with Happy Mondays, 'Bummed' posters. And a few others afterwards.
