| Reverse description | A detailed frontal elevation of a large multi-storeyed factory or wool warehouse occupies the central field, rendered with careful architectural precision showing five rows of shuttered windows across its broad facade. The legend DUNKIRK above and SOMT. below the upper legend arc identifies the Somerset location, while FACTORY appears in the lower arc and the date 1795 is positioned in the exergue beneath the building. The design commemorates the Dunkirk woollen factory near Frome, Somerset, and reflects the civic pride typical of late eighteenth-century Conder token issues. |
