Looking across the centre of the triangular site, which covered some 45 hectares including car parks. The main building was 600 metres long. Try www.bing.com/maps and search on Ryton on Dunsmore for aerial views of the plant. The fence here has been erected across the site. The A45 runs behind the mountain of rubble. The scale is given by the lighting columns and the yellow container lorry, left of centre, about 500 metres away.
