Tachbrook Park has evolved into a mix of business, retail and leisure uses. It was a response to the approach of the M40 extension in the 1980s, filling in the urban fringe farmland between existing industrial estates south of Leamington. The laughable road names all refer to Greek mythology. Here the view is to Olympus Avenue and the rear of the offices of Wright Hassall, solicitors; it was originally developed for the Heart of England Building Society but they were taken over by the C&G, who were themselves acquired by Lloyds TSB, I think. This preposterous pile fronts Europa Way, Leamington's feeder to the M40: see Image
