Viewed along Station Way. From a shop which opened in Trowbridge in the early 19th century, the Bowyers business expanded in the 20th century to become the largest producer of fresh sausages in the UK. Since Bowyers left Trowbridge in 2007, this site has become derelict. Developer Prorsus has unveiled plans to redevelop the site. Its proposal includes an 8-screen cinema, coffee shops, several restaurants, a riverside walk, a civic square, a Morrisons foodstore, a petrol filling station and a family pub. The scheme proposes c550 free car parking spaces.
