The Vulcan Works (operated by MAN B&W Diesel since 2000) closed at the end of 2002 and the business transferred to the MAN B&W Diesel Ltd, Mirrlees Blackstone site at Stockport. The Vulcan Foundry was finally demolished in 2006 and the site was levelled to give way to a proposed urban village. The bowling green at the north west corner of the site is all that remains.
