The Village
Image: © Paul Franks Taken: 8 Feb 2013
A development of private and social housing built on the site of Marconi Radar. Part of the site had been Crompton's Arc Works, later Crompton Parkinson, and roads in The Village are named after Crompton and Parkinson, but not Marconi. The road seen here, beyond the roundabout, is Parkinson Drive.
