A distinctive landmark on the main A41 which runs just to our left, this large building - ugly or attractive depending on your point of view - was erected in 1954 for the printing company Odham's. Its large clock tower incorporates a water tank for use in the printing process. Odham's ceased trading at the start of 1969 when its last title, the comic Smash!, was transferred to another publisher.
