Dritex raincoats Mushroom Street Mabgate.

Help!
Can anybody confirm this. In the early sixties I started work at Clark Dritex on Mushroom St Mabgate opposite the old cinema which was Galinsky's tailoring factory. The building was a tall narrow structure of five floors which swayed in the wind, and as a fifteen year old on the top floor in the cutting room it gave me the shivers. I was always told that the factory originally belonged to Burtons before its move to Hudson Rd. I am sure the full address was Concorde St and I know that that was the address of the Burtons factory. But Concorde Street now only runs down off North St eastwards a little way!
Is there anybody can verify that the factory I worked in was the Montegue Burtons premises before their move?
