Recent development of the former Foxboro Yoxall site, an instrument manufacturer which was based here from 1958 to 1991. After closure, the site remained derelict for many years, before development, partly as an industrial park and partly, in the late 2000s, for housing in an area named Park 25. The name St Anne's Boulevard refers to St Anne's, an imposing building dating from 1884, housing in turn a school, a hospital and finally a County Council run old people's home, which stood to the south of this site. It was demolished in 1987.
