The deep red thread dyed in Helmond was bought from across the world.
The deep red thread dyed in Helmond was bought from across the world. The thread was dyed here, including beside this townhouse, named after the grandfather of the squire Carel Theodor van der Brugghen. The industrial activity was visible and tangible here. A Turkish dying factory used to stand beside the building, succeeded by a synthetic wool factory, then a factory for corrugated cardboard and later a factory for straw cords and envelopes.
