This large works had already closed when the photograph was taken in 1963. It had a rail connection, via level crossing across the A518, to the ex-LNWR Wellington- Stafford line. The Trench Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, disused and heavily overgrown, is between the photographer and the works, with Trench Lock just off-picture to the right. The area is now buried beneath a dual carriageway.
