In March 2010, fire destroyed CJ's Skatepark (formerly known as Skate Extreme). The owner of the family-run business estimated the damage at up to £2 million. The cause of the fire has not yet been reported. Skate Extreme was opened in 1996 at the former Jewson's builders' yard, with the aim of attracting skateboarders, rollerbladers, BMXs and micro-scooters. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1712843 to the premises in August 2009.
