The Spirella Company - Corset Makers & Corsetieres

26 March 2012 - 2 February 2013

The Spirella factory was built between 1912 and 1920. The American company revolutionised the manufacture of corsets, and came to Letchworth Garden City in 1910. The company’s motto was ‘Healthy Happy Workers are the World’s Best’. Thousands of people from the Garden City and around worked at the factory, and the building is a much-loved Letchworth landmark.
