Bobbers Mill: allotments and Ascot Works
Image: © John Sutton Taken: 20 Nov 2009
This not especially exciting 2009 photograph is now of some small historical interest as Ascot Works, latterly occupied by Speedo, was demolished in May 2013. This view from the path through the allotments (some of which are behind the hedge) which links Bobbers Mill, Ainsley Estate and Old Radford shows the former factory building (still standing) occupied by Collins Cash & Carry on the left and one of the more recent parts of Ascot Works straight ahead. Alan Murray-Rust's Image] shows Ascot Works from Bobbers Mill Bridge; my Image] and Image] show the site after demolition.
